The vivid hues of both this poisonous reptile, in all its amazing detail, and its home in the Outback, have been accurately captured on this one troy ounce pure gold proof through state of the art digital minting coloration. Each coin is displayed inside an elegant, luxury presentation case lined with with black satin and velvet and protected by a gold and black outer box. An individually-numbered certificate of authenticity is included. With a mintage limit of just 150, we recommend quick action!
The Deadly Tiger Snake
The tiger snake (Notechis scutatus) is a large and highly venomous snake of southern Australia, inhabiting widespread regions including its coastal islands and Tasmania. These snakes are often observed and locally well known by their banding, black and yellow like a tiger, although the species can be highly variable in coloration and patterning.
Tiger snakes accounted for 17% of identified snakebite victims in Australia between 2005 and 2015, with four deaths recorded from 119 confirmed envenomations. Tiger snake venoms possess potent neurotoxins, coagulants, haemolysins, and myotoxins. Symptoms of a bite include localized pain in the foot and neck region, tingling, numbness, and sweating, followed by a fairly rapid onset of breathing difficulties and paralysis. In one literature review, the mortality rate from untreated bites was found to be between 40% and 60%.
Fortunately, there are modern antivenoms that greatly reduce the mortality rate of tiger snake bites. Nonetheless, in Australia the number of deaths from tiger snakes is exceeded by only the brown snake. This is due to the extremely concentrated nature of tiger snake venom—the lethal dose for humans is just 3 milligrams!
While tiger snakes are usually ground-dwelling, they are able to swim as well as climb into trees and buildings, making them a multi-modal threat.
Truly Rare!
The mintage limit is just 150—meaning a mere one hundred fifty people around the globe will ever be able to own this prestigious one troy ounce pure gold proof! For the lover of carnivorous and/or endangered wildlife, the collector who appreciates tremendous design and rarity, and/or the savvy investor, this is the perfect numismatic gold coin!
