Experience the breathtaking beauty of one of Australia's most iconic insects with the 2026 Ulysses Butterfly 2 oz Antiqued Coloured Silver Coin from The Perth Mint. Inspired by the dazzling blue emperor butterfly, this stunning collectible celebrates the vibrant colours and remarkable elegance of a species that has become a symbol of transformation, vitality, and the natural wonders of the rainforest.
The coloured reverse showcases a magnificent Ulysses butterfly in vivid detail, accompanied by three smaller butterflies in flight among a flourishing landscape of native Australian flora. Golden goodenia blooms and delicate pink Euodia flowers—favourite nectar sources for the Ulysses butterfly—are brought to life with vibrant colour, while the Cape York lily and graceful bower of beauty are beautifully incorporated into the engraved design. Completing the artwork are the inscription "BUTTERFLY", the coin's weight, purity, 2026 year-date, and The Perth Mint's renowned "P" mintmark.
Struck from 2 oz of pure silver with an antiqued finish that enhances every intricate detail, this exceptional coin captures the brilliance of the butterfly's iridescent wings in a timeless collectible. A perfect addition for wildlife enthusiasts and collectors alike, it is a striking tribute to one of nature's most spectacular creations.
