The Royal Australian Mint’s Australia’s Most Dangerous Series has had four successful releases including the Redback Spider, Great White Shark, Desert Scorpion and Box Jellyfish. The Tiger Snake is the fifth release in the series, which include a $1 1 oz Silver Investment Coin.

The Tiger Snake inhabits much of southern Australia and is known for its striking black and yellow bands, however some Tiger Snakes are without these bold markings. The dark bands allow the snakes to better absorb heat during the short growing season. If threatened, Tiger Snakes can become aggressive, and their bite releases toxic venom, which can be fatal to humans.

Impressively, Tiger Snakes can swim and climb. They can remain submerged underwater for up to nine minutes and have also been found up to 10 metres above ground. They frequently inhabit watery areas including dams, creeks, swamps and wetlands.
