One of the few highly venomous spiders in Australia is the Redback. Very dark body with a red line make them an impressive looking creature.
They belong to widow spiders family but are relatively small compared to some other spiders from this family; only 1 cm for females while the boys are not even half that. This spider can seriously harm you but since the introduction of an antidote in '50s there havent been any fatalities.
One very cool thing about these spiders is after mating with their partner they canibalize the body of the male. Think about that next time you go out on a date ;)
Reason I am talking about Redbacks is I like Australian flora and fauna and second is this particular animal has something in common with my hobby; coin collecting.
If you are collecting silver coins chances are you know about the coin below. It is one of the most expensive 1 oz modern minted silver coins.
Beautiful hey. This coin goes for ~ USD1500 which is a lot of money for a 1 oz coin when you could buy ~2.5kg of silver for that money. There have been many tries to replicate this success by Perth Mint and others of similar coins but none have the premium of this coin. Mintage is 5000 coins of 1 oz 999/1000 silver by Perth Mint.
