Giant of the outback
March 9, 2026
A Proof 2026 1-ounce .9999 fine silver dollar coin from the Perth Mint struck in the name of Tuvalu showcases Australia’s formidable giant centipede in full color. Australia’s giant centipede (Ethmostigmus rubripes) is the country’s largest centipede, reaching up to 20 centimeters in length and armed with potent venom. This nocturnal predator is fast-moving, hunting insects, spiders, worms, snails, and even small vertebrates like frogs and lizards.
