The Coin Company is proud to present Honey Bee 2025 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin by the Perth Mint.

The western honey bee, scientifically known as Apis mellifera, derives its name from Latin origins. The word “Apis” translates to “bee” while “mellifera” means “honey-bearing” or “honey-carrying”. This name aptly describes the species’ ability to produce and store honey, a characteristic that has made it one of the most significant and widespread honey bee species in the world. Its role in honey production and pollination underlines its essential contribution to ecosystems and agriculture worldwide.

The Western honey bee, armed with specially adapted hairs that form saddlebags on their hindlegs, are among the most efficient pollinators on Earth.

The coin portrays a coloured pair of worker bees, resting on the petals of a striking pink daisy flower with a yellow centre. The background incorporates illustrations of additional honey bees, busily collecting nectar from sheets of honeycomb and blooming flowers. As well as a ribbon scroll with the inscription ‘HONEY BEE’. Also included is the coin’s weight, purity, 2025 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. Packaged within an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
