2013 Australia 1 oz Silver Year of the Snake BU (Series II)
Perth Mint • Limited Mintage • .999 Fine Silver • Lunar Series II Classic

- ✓ Beautiful and symbolic Year of the Snake artwork
- ✓ Highly sought-after early release in the Lunar II series
- ✓ 1 oz of .999 fine silver
- ✓ Sealed in protective packaging
The 2013 Australia 1 oz Silver Lunar Snake is a standout issue from the Perth Mint’s beloved Lunar Series II. Struck from .999 fine silver and limited to just 300,000 coins, this release has become increasingly scarce in the marketplace due to strong collector demand.
The obverse of the coin features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with inscriptions for weight, purity, denomination, and year. On the reverse, a beautifully detailed snake coils elegantly around a tree branch, accompanied by the Chinese character for "snake," the inscription "Year of the Snake," and the Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark.
Those born in the Year of the Snake – 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965 and earlier cycles – are believed to be wise, intuitive, graceful, deep thinkers, and highly observant. This coin makes an excellent personal keepsake or a meaningful gift.

- ✓ Scarce mintage of only 300,000
- ✓ Beautiful and symbolic snake design
