Each 2025 2 oz Antique Colorized Australian Silver Honey Bee Coin comes in a custom Perth Mint display case.

Packaged with a bee-themed shipper and an official Certificate of Authenticity, the coin is struck on a rimless blank with an antiqued finish and features selective colorization on the reverse.

Inside a bee colony, each member has a specific role. The queen lays eggs to grow the colony. Worker bees—thousands of females—handle everything from gathering nectar to caring for young bees. Male drones are present only to mate with queens from other colonies, making bee communities incredibly organized and efficient.

The obverse of the 2025 Antique Colorized Australian Silver Honey Bee Coin features a portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. Designed by Dan Thorne for the Perth Mint, the image shows the King in left-profile relief without a crown, reflecting a more modern representation.

On the reverse of the 2025 2 oz Antique Colorized Silver Honey Bee Coin, three bees are seen pollinating flowers. A large, colorized flower is shown in the foreground, while a beehive appears in the background. This design by Jennifer McKenna highlights the bees in mid-pollination, showcasing their crucial task in nature.
