2020 $5 Inside Australia's Most Dangerous Western Taipan 1oz Silver Proof Coin

Oxyuranus Microlepidotus, also known as the Inland Taipan, Small-scaled or Fierce Snake, Western Taipans have the most toxic venom of any terrestrial snake. A full bite from a large individual is capable of killing more than 250,000 mice. Bites to humans are rare as these snakes live in remote, sparsely settled regions. This Australian legal tender coin pays tribute to the Tasmanian Devil.
