The Special Edition in color of the popular Deadly & Dangerous Series is dedicated to the Australian Stingray. The coin was struck from one ounce of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality. The partially colored design features a large stingray on the ocean floor in the foreground and two other specimens in the background. Additionally, the inscription "AUSTRALIA'S STINGRAY" is included in the design. The reverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as well as denomination and year of issue. Stingrays (scientifically: Dasyatis) are characterized by their flat and diamond-shaped body, the skeleton of which is made of cartilage rather than bone. The name of the ray is due to the venomous sting located on its whip-like tail. If the ray feels threatened, it uses the sting to defend itself. Due to the venom and the barbed sting, an attack by the stingray is not only extremely painful, but can also be fatal under certain circumstances. The strictly limited Deadly & Dangerous Stingray gold proof coin is delivered in the original wooden box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
