The Year of the Water Snake, which last occurred in 2013, represents a time of transformation and fluid wisdom in Chinese astrology. As one of the five elemental manifestations of the Snake sign, the Water Snake combines the serpent’s traditional characteristics of intuition, grace, and cunningness with water’s flowing, adaptable nature.

Each 2013 1/10 oz Australian Lunar Snake Gold Coin offered here comes in a protective plastic capsule. This coin had an original sales volume of 23,700 specimens, making it the best-selling 2013 Lunar Gold Snake from the Perth Mint behind only the 1 oz gold coin which sold out its allotted mintage of 30,000 coins.
People born in Water Snake years are said to be exceptionally perceptive and influential, possessing both emotional depth and natural charisma. The water element is believed to soften the Snake’s sometimes rigid demeanor, creating individuals who can navigate complex situations with remarkable flexibility and insight.
Queen Elizabeth II features on the obverse of 2013 Australian Lunar Snake Gold Coins. This iconic effigy of Elizabeth II was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley and was widely used throughout the Commonwealth Nations. This right-profile relief depicts the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
A snake is featured in the reverse design of the 2013 Lunar Snake Gold Coin. In this design, the snake is shown coiled near a small patch of grass beneath bamboo shoots. This design was the first in the Lunar Series from Ing Ing Jong, a Perth Mint artist who went on to create countless additional designs for Perth Mint.
