One Dollar 2021 R - Redback Spider, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The one dollar coin denomination (written as $1) was introduced in Australia in 1984, replacing the earlier banknotes. The original definitive type featuring five kangaroos has not been changed since its introduction and is still issued regularly. Apart from the regular design, the Royal Australian Mint issues a large variety of circulating commemorative one dollar coins which have the same specifications and circulate in parallel with the definitive type - such as this one. This circulating commemorative dollar coin is part of the The Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2 campaign - a series of 26 different $1 coins where each features a letter of the English alphabet and an Australian symbol starting with that letter. The coin for the letter R features the Redback Spider. R is for the venomous Redback Spider - likely to seek shelter in warm habitats, the Redback Spider is found all over Australia, often in houses, sheds, under toilet seats and in junk piles. Fun (or not-so-fun) fact: a female spider can store its partner’s sperm for up to two years, hatching multiple batches of up to 250 eggs - now that’s a scary thought! | ||||||
