Investment-Note This is the first-ever gold release in the Deadly and Dangerous series from the Perth Mint. Most previous silver releases sold out at the Mint in record time and increased in value. Given the theme as well as the woefully inadequate mintage limit of only 150, it’s only natural that collectors, investors and speculators have flocked to these beautiful coins and driven the prices up. The mintage is just 150 – a mere one hundred fifty people around the globe will ever be able to own this prestigious, one troy ounce pure gold proof! For the lover of endangered wildlife, the collector who appreciates tremendous design and rarity, and/or the savvy investor, this is the perfect numismatic gold coin! Obverse A full color, realistic portrait of red-back spider in its natural surroundings. The legend RED-BACK SPIDER defines the theme. Reverse Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in crowned profile facing right. This portrait, featuring Her Majesty wearing a tiara and pearl drop earrings, was executed by the sculptor Ian Rank Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II, the date of issue and denomination also appear, while the legend 1 OZ 9999 GOLD guarantees the weight and purity. Packaging The coin is encapsulated inside a luxurious, highly polished, solid wood, clamshell-style presentation case, lined with black velvet and white satin, and protected by an outer cardboard box.
