The 2025 Australian Native Bees - Blue-banded Bee 1oz Silver Proof Hologram Coin is the first coin from the Australian Native Bees series.

Meticulously crafted from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver to a proof quality finish. Employing an innovative hologram technique, the coin beautifully showcases the vibrant colours of the Blue-banded Bee (Amegilla cingulata), recognised as one of Australia's most unique and captivating native bee species.

Blue-banded Bees have a sting and are not aggressive. Native bees are critical in sustaining local biodiversity as they can pollinate a greater variety of native plants compared to honeybees.
