The intricately designed coin features a three-dimensional redback spider crafted from 18-carat gold and adorned with diamonds and a ruby.
The coin's centrepiece is a sculptural redback spider suspended within an intricate web. Black diamonds embellish the spider's body, while a handset ruby represents the iconic red marking.
Perth Mint general manager retail, Tina Kircher, said the coin was inspired by one of Australia’s most recognisable creatures.
"The redback spider is a uniquely Australian icon,” she said.
“While many Australians prefer to admire one from a distance, its distinctive appearance and intricate web made it a fascinating subject for this release."
"The redback's web is an extraordinary feat of natural design, and we wanted to reflect that same level of detail in this piece. From the sculpted spider and delicate web through to the carefully selected gemstones, every element has been carefully crafted to bring the design to life."
These coins are priced at $30,000 each and come in a display case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. The Jewelled Redback Spider is Australian legal tender, with only 60 available worldwide.
