| Additional information |
The Stag Beetle dollar is part of the Royal Australian Mint's 2014 Bright Bugs series, which used pad printing — a technique borrowed from industrial manufacturing — to apply colour directly onto coin surfaces without capsules or inserts. The RAM had been refining this process for several years before committing it to a circulating commemorative issue, and the results here are among the cleaner early applications of the method on Australian coinage.
The stag beetle itself is not native to Australia; its inclusion likely reflects the series' broader entomological scope rather than endemic fauna.
