2014 $1 Bright Bugs Series – Stag Beetle Uncirculated Coin in Card

The make stag beetle’s impressively-proportioned mandibles are used almost exclusively for battling rivals when preferred mating territories are at stake.

Like the deer they are named for, these beetles engage in ferocious-looking contests by locking ‘antlers’.In some countries, the insects are collected and beetle-bouts are staged for entertainment.Fittingly, these unusual and extravagantly coloured critters are part of the Royal Australian Mint’s Bright Bugs Series.
