A Tribute to Australia’s Crucial Pollinator

This coin celebrates one of nature’s smallest yet most vital species. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this proof-quality collectible honors the carpenter bee, a pollinator essential to Australia’s environment.

Carpenter bees are crucial pollinators in Australia, performing "buzz pollination" for native plants like lilies, guinea flowers, and grasstrees, helping them produce seeds and regenerate ecosystems, though they face threats from bushfires destroying their soft wood nesting sites. They are also important "ecosystem engineers" by nesting in dead wood.

As the third release in the popular Australian Native Bees Series, it continues a legacy of artistry and ecological storytelling.
