This was a joint issue of 4 hugely popular silver commemorative coins.
The first remarkable silver commemorative coin in this set was issued by the Perth Mint to mark the dawn of the 21st century - it is one of the first Australian coins to feature a gold inlay and colour as part of the design of Cleopatra's Needle.
The second silver proof coin in this set is a proof 1oz Kookaburra - the proof silver Kookaburra series of coins is hugely popular around the world for a number of reasons - high-quality metal struck to exacting standards, beautiful presentation and tiny mintage figures to boot.
The reverse of the 2001 silver proof Kookaburra features a single Kookaburra flying across a map of Australia.
The third coin in this set is a silver 1oz proof kangaroo coin dated 2001. The Royal Australian Mint began striking silver one-ounce coins with a kangaroo reverse in 1993, and this series is now hugely popular with collectors right around the world.
The fourth and final silver proof coin in this set is a 2001-dated snake. 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 exceptional quality, and their proof coins are even better.
People born in the Year of the Snake are said to be deep. They say little and possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. Snakes are determined in whatever they do and hate to fail. Although calm on the surface, they are intense and passionate.
Besides 2001, other Snake years includes: 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977 and 1989.
This set of four coins remains housed in the unique presentation case and is accompanied by a serial-numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
