Gold Ten Ounces 2001 Year of the Snake, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The Australian ten ounces gold piece (abbreviated as 10 oz and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used. This coin is part of the sixth release in the Lunar Series issued by the Perth Mint, and marks the Chinese 2001 Year of the Snake (24 January 2001 - 11 February 2002).
