2022 Most Dangerous - Desert Scorpion RAM

Explore Australia’s fearsome wildlife with this 2022 Australian Desert Scorpion 1 oz Silver Coin from the Royal Australian Mint.

Radiating lines emphasize the harsh environment inhabited by this large and aggressive Australian arachnid. The inscriptions “DESERT SCORPION” and “1 oz .999 SILVER” complete the design.

The obverse displays Jody Clark’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II together with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA 2022” and the legal-tender denomination of one Australian dollar.
