Redback Spider
The bullion series featuring Australia’s most dangerous animals depicts the Redback Spider and continues with 5 ounce silver version. These creatures are found in Australia, and can be identified by the red stripe on their abdomen. The spider’s bite is venomous, but most bites occur by accident as the spiders are not known to be aggressive. The Redback Spider builds intricate webs to catch their prey.
