About this product

Year of the Snake, 2001: A Lunar Series I Original

The 2001 1 oz silver Lunar Snake is a Brilliant Uncirculated coin from the Perth Mint's first Lunar series, struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver with a face value of 1 Australian dollar. It was the third coin in the 12-coin Series I cycle and had a reported mintage of 71,301. Series I ran for twelve years, with one coin for each animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Hatchlings on the Reverse

The Perth Mint launched its Lunar program in 1999, and the first series covered all twelve zodiac animals before closing in 2010. The 2001 Snake shows a coiled snake beside five eggs, one of them cracking open as a young snake hatches. The obverse uses Ian Rank-Broadley's effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA and 1 DOLLAR. Because Series I coins are now more than two decades old, collectors often look closely at toning and surface marks when choosing among dealers.

Pricing a Series I Lunar on the Secondary Market

Older Lunar Series I coins trade mostly on the secondary market, so premiums over the spot price of silver depend on each dealer's supply and the coin's condition. Comparing published prices and buyback offers side by side helps you see the range. You can also look at silver coins for sale or the wider set of Perth Mint Lunar silver coins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What design is on the 2001 Lunar Snake silver coin?

The reverse shows a snake curled beside five eggs, with one hatchling breaking free of its shell. The obverse carries Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the 1 dollar denomination.

How do dealers price a 2001 1 oz Lunar Snake?

The starting point is the spot price of one ounce of silver. Dealers then add a premium for the coin's age, series and condition, and that amount differs from one seller to the next, so a side-by-side comparison is useful.
