| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Australian Mint's ongoing "Australian Scorpions" bullion series, this release highlights Urodacus yaschenkoi, a species endemic to the arid interior and notable for fluorescing a vivid blue-green under ultraviolet light — a property shared by all scorpions but particularly studied in desert-adapted species. The 6th portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was adopted by the RAM in 2019 and appears here in what would prove to be one of its final years of issue before the Queen's death in September 2022.
