2013 Australia 5 oz Silver Year of the Snake BU
2013 Australia 5 oz Silver Year of the Snake BU
Struck in five troy ounces of 0.999 fine silver, this impressive Australian coin celebrates 2013 as the Year of the Snake in the traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar. The substantial weight and large format of this issue provide an expansive canvas for the detailed artistry of the Lunar Series, which is backed by the Australian government. The reverse side depicts a snake gracefully coiled around a leafy tree branch. Alongside the serpent, the design incorporates the Chinese character representing the snake, the English inscription 'Year of the Snake', and the distinctive 'P' mint mark of the Perth Mint. On the obverse, the coin displays the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions detailing her name, the issuing nation, the 2013 date, the 8 Dollars denomination, and the weight and purity of the silver.
