2001 Australia 1 oz Silver Year of the Snake BU (Series I)
The Year of the Snake is celebrated on this Australian legal tender coin, minted in 2001 as part of the popular Lunar Series. Struck in one ounce of 0.999 fine silver, this issue represents the third release in a twelve-coin cycle. The coin features a brilliant uncirculated finish, highlighting the artistry of both its obverse and reverse designs. On the reverse, a snake is depicted coiled alongside five eggs, with one of the eggs in the process of hatching. This detailed scene is accompanied by inscriptions indicating the year 2001, the weight of one ounce, and the silver purity. The obverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, along with the denomination of one dollar and the country name, Australia. With a limited mintage of 71,301 pieces, this coin is a fascinating example of modern sovereign minting.
