Armed with an immensely toxic poison, the Blue Ringed Octopus is famed for the luminous quality of its visual defence mechanism.  Whenever it feels threatened, iridescent blue rings and lines quickly appear all over its body and tentacles.

Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver

A stunning example of The Perth Mint’s coloured minting skills, the coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.

Coloured Reverse Design

The reverse portrays the deadly and dangerous Blue Ringed Octopus displaying its vivid blue markings.

Tuvalu Legal Tender

Issued as legal tender of Tuvalu, the coin depicts the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.

Extremely Limited Mintage

Like the previous Red Backed Spider and Great White Shark releases in this series, no more than 5,000 Blue Ringed Octopus coins will be released.

Timber Presentation Case

Each coin is housed in a high-gloss timber presentation case and illustrated outer box appropriately emblazoned with the word ‘Danger’.

Numbered Certificate of Authenticity

Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
