The 2013 "Year of the Snake" Silver Dollar is the sixth coin issued in the popular Australian Silver Lunar Series II. The original twelve Australian Silver Lunar coins (1999-2010) had extremely low mintages (84,000 coins average per year) and are now very valuable and difficult to find.

The Lunar Series II coins began in 2008 and differed from the original coins with a larger diameter (45 mm vs. 40.6 mm) and updated animal designs. Each coin is gem brilliant uncirculated with a gorgeous "reverse-proof" finish. The background is frosted while the images have a brilliant mirror finish. Each coin comes in a clear plastic capsule to protect the beautiful finish and contains one ounce 0.999 fine silver.
