2026 $1 Deadly & Dangerous Series - Giant Centipede 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin 

The next installment which has been driven by the undeniable quality of the coin, and the virtually unrivalled global success of the Australian Deadly & Dangerous Series, this frightening tribute to the Giant Centipede is sure to be met with an overwhelming wave of demand.

A typically vibrant example of the Perth Mint’s precious metal prowess, this pure 99.99% silver coin forms a dramatic tribute to Australia’s Giant Centipede (Ethmostigmus rubripes). A solitary nocturnal predator, this distinctive beast certainly deserves its moniker ‘Giant’. Measuring a whopping 150mm in length, the Giant Centipede is endowed with nearly 30 individual body segments, and over 20 pairs of legs! The first pair of legs are modified claws, which the Centipede uses to inject toxic venom into its prey. Perfectly capturing the nightmarish physique of the Giant Centipede upon its 40.90mm flan, this eye-catching coin forms a fine addition to the Deadly & Dangerous Series.

Launched in 2006, the Deadly & Dangerous Series is among Australia’s most sought after, most admired annual collector programs – notable for rapid sell-outs and rising values. Given the stunning design, peerless Perth Mint strike and tiny limited edition, the 2026 $1 Giant Centipede 1oz Silver Proof is sure to march down the same path to success as its predecessors.

This vivid illustration is achieved by the Perth Mint using their full-colour minting technique.

The coin’s obverse design features His Majesty King Charles III, and is issued as legal tender under the Government of Tuvalu.

With a tiny mintage of just 2,500 coins, sure to be in hot demand.

Each coin is presented in a high-gloss timber case along with Numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
