The Perth Mint Australian Lunar Series Gold and silver coins commemorate the Chinese Lunar calendar: gold coins were first struck in 1996, silver coins began in 1999.
It is now one of the most keenly collected lunar coin series in the entire world. The Perth Mint's bullion coins are of exceptional quality, and their proof coins are even better.
For the Chinese, the snake symbolises happiness, intelligence and auspiciousness, and is affectionately known as the ‘small dragon’.
Those born in the Year of the Snake (1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001) are said to be passionate, romantic, deep-thinking, wise and charming. Money never concerns them, as they always have enough for their needs. Although not generous with money, they help those less fortunate. Snake people prefer their own judgement rather than seeking another’s advice.
Special Note - this coin remains in the original capsule and presentation case it was issued in, but the certificate of authenticity is missing.
