| Additional information |
The Redback Spider coin is part of the Royal Australian Mint's ongoing "Australiana" bullion series, which positions Australian wildlife as a recurring motif for the international silver bullion market — a strategy that has proven commercially effective since the Perth Mint pioneered it with the Kookaburra series in 1990. The 6th portrait of Elizabeth II, by sculptor Jody Clark, was introduced to Australian coinage in 2019, making this an early issue under that effigy.
The Redback (*Latrodectus hasselti*) is closely related to the North American Black Widow. Its venom claimed no confirmed fatalities after antivenom became widely available in 1956.
