Sure to appeal to young collectors, and a must-have for all serious decimal enthusiasts, the Royal Australian Mint has unveiled its new Australian legal tender 2014 $1 Bright Bugs Series!

Arrayed with vivid designs, the first two coins of the series honour the Ulysses Butterfly and the Blow Fly. Whilst the Ulysses Butterfly would seem a natural choice for the series, the celebration of the much misunderstood ‘Blowy’ is an unexpected stroke of genius on the part of the Royal Australian Mint. It may be the scourge of the Aussie BBQ, but the Blow Fly’s metallic blue, green & black sheen makes this quintessentially Australian insect an absolutely perfect subject for a full-colour coin.

Not to be issued for circulation, and an essential acquisition for a complete $1 collection, each 25mm Al-Br Bright Bugs Unc $1 is set in an official card.
