Presenting the 2013 1 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Snake from the renowned Perth Mint Lunar Series II, a remarkable release that pays tribute to the ancient Chinese zodiac calendar dating back over 4,000 years. This coin marks the sixth installment in the 12-year cycle and was struck in .9999 fine gold with exquisite detail. With a limited mintage of just 30,000 pieces, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin is no longer produced, making it a highly desirable addition for numismatists and enthusiasts of Eastern symbolism.

In the Chinese zodiac, the Snake represents wisdom, intuition, and elegance. Individuals born in the Year of the Snake—including 2013, 2001, 1989, and 1977—are believed to be insightful, charming, and analytical. The Perth Mint’s interpretation of the snake on this release is both graceful and powerful, embodying the spiritual and cultural richness of this revered zodiac symbol.
