The design by Ing Ing Jong is particularly noteworthy, as it is the artist’s first contribution to the Lunar Series, with more lunar designs for Perth Mint to follow.

The Year of the Snake is the sixth sign in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, sandwiched between the Year of the Dragon and the Year of the Horse. Previous Years of the Snake include 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, and 2013, with the next occurrence slated for 2025.

On the obverse of these 2013 Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins, the right-profile relief of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, takes center stage. This design, created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, adds a touch of regality to the coin.

Turning to the reverse side, the 2013 2 oz Silver Lunar Snake Coins showcase Ing Ing Jong’s inaugural design in the Lunar Series. The image depicts a snake elegantly coiled on the branch of a tree. In Chinese astrology, snakes are believed to have harmonious relationships with the Ox and Rooster, while they may face challenges with the Tiger.
