Featuring the only Lunar Series coins to utilise the traditional 25 mm aluminium-bronze coin - the same size as regular circulating coins, this is the sixth set in a Royal Australian Mint series, and is dedicated to the Chinese Year of the Snake.
The mint says about it: "Set in an official pack, this Year of the Snake tribute unites two $1 coins. Struck to the Mint’s impeccable Uncirculated standard, the first bears a depiction of a snake wrapped round bamboo - a symbol of virtue - with the second portraying the Lunar Calendar Wheel. Australian legal tender, both coins bear Daniel Thorne’s portrait of Charles III – the first time the king’s effigy has featured in this series!"
This pair of Australian Lunar coins is housed on an auspicious red and gold card, and is limited to a mintage of 30,000 pieces. |
