“Torture. You are chained in the flow of an active volcano.” – Justin Schmidt, The Pain Index.
It sounds like something out of a Hollywood adventure flick - you're bashing through the Central American jungle, searching for lost meso-American cultures, when a bluish black swarm appears from nowhere. This airborne mob is made up of Warrior Wasps, on their journey to begin a new colony. Bad luck for you though, the Warrior Wasp possesses a sting that'll give you a pain for the ages! And there's hundreds of them, coming your way!
The third in a coin series examining the most painful stings of the insect world – the Kings of Sting! – this one ounce, 99.9% pure silver coin features the Warrior Wasp.
The sting of the 20mm Warrior Wasp is considered the most painful of any insect, matching the grief caused by the Bullet Ant. Initially, the victim feels burning pain through the limbs and, according to scientific theory, the venom causes the feeling that there's a gaping wound at the sting's centre!
Limited to just 300 coins ever to be issued.
