2010 Perth Mint Deadly & Dangerous Eastern Brown Snake 1oz Proof Silver Coin
Struck from 1oz of .999 fine silver in flawless proof quality, the 2010 Eastern Brown Snake Silver Proof Coin marks the fifth and final release in the acclaimed Deadly & Dangerous series. This powerful finale pays tribute to one of Australia’s most feared and fascinating reptiles.
The coin’s reverse features a vividly coloured Eastern Brown Snake, captured in a dramatic strike-ready pose with its head raised in a classic “S” shape. Renowned as one of the world’s most venomous snakes, the Eastern Brown Snake is responsible for more snakebite fatalities in Australia than any other species. Its aggressive nature and highly toxic venom make it both a formidable predator and a compelling subject for numismatic art.
Issued as sovereign legal tender of Tuvalu, this proof coin was produced under the authority of the Australian Government and reflects The Perth Mint’s renowned craftsmanship. The design combines educational significance with visual intensity, making it a standout piece for collectors of wildlife, Australian fauna, and themed silver coins.
The coin is presented in a high-gloss timber display case, housed within an illustrated outer box boldly marked “Danger”, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
As the concluding release in the Deadly & Dangerous series, this coin holds special appeal for series collectors and enthusiasts alike.
