Each 2013 1/10 oz Australian Lunar Snake Gold Coin in this listing comes in a protective plastic capsule. The Perth Mint originally released 23,700 of these coins, making it the second-highest seller in the 2013 Lunar Gold Snake series, just behind the 1 oz version, which sold out its 30,000-coin limit.

Those born under the Water Snake are thought to possess deep insight and charm, combining emotional sensitivity with adaptability. The water element is believed to balance the Snake’s usual determination, creating individuals capable of handling challenges with flexibility and wisdom.

The obverse of the 2013 Australian Lunar Snake Gold Coin displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This depiction, created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, shows the Queen in right-profile, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. This image has been widely used on coinage across Commonwealth Nations.

The reverse design of 2013 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Snakes features a coiled snake, resting near grass and bamboo. This detailed design was the first in the Lunar Series created by Ing Ing Jong, a talented artist at the Perth Mint who went on to design many more coins for the series.
