Where it came from
The 2013 Australian Year of the Snake one-dollar silver coin was minted by the Perth Mint as part of the Australian Lunar Series II. This series, which debuted in 2008, draws upon the Chinese zodiac tradition, celebrating each year with a design reflecting the specific animal sign. The coin is composed of 99.9 percent pure silver and serves as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act of 1965.
The reverse design, depicting two snakes coiled around foliage, was crafted by Perth Mint designers to honor the sixth animal in the Chinese zodiac, representing wisdom and intelligence. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian coinage for many years. Upon release, the series gained significant traction among international bullion investors and numismatists for its consistent thematic design and high metallic purity.
