Seaside stinger

Another exciting addition to the popular Deadly and Dangerous series , this superb 1oz silver proof coloured coin features a striking image of a bluebottle , otherwise known as the Pacific Man-O-War .
The bluebottle is not one animal , but a complex floating colony of four different organisms which rely on predatory tentacles to catch prey . Capable of delivering a nasty sting via its predatory tentacles , even when washed up on the beach , its vivid blue hues are brilliantly represented on this 99.99 % pure silver coin , which also incorporates the inscription ‘ AUSTRALIA ’ S BLUEBOTTLE ’.
