Details

Also known as ‘Mountain Blue’, the Ulysses Butterfly (Papilio ulysses) is a large swallowtail butterfly with amazing, iridescent electric-blue wings. This eyecatching animal is one of the first coins in the Royal Australian Mint’s Bright Bugs six coin collection. In what promises to be a series to get people talking, the Royal Australian Mint will feature some of the prettiest bugs from across the country.
These are not the normal, dirty critters one finds under their fridge – but rather examples of how nature adorns some lucky critters with mesmerising colours and unbelievable patterns.
