BGASC offers the 2001 10 oz Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin to you for purchase with an individual protective flip. This coin was one of seven options available in gold alongside 1 Kilo, 2 oz, 1 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz gold coins.
Obverse
On the obverse of 2001 10 oz Gold Lunar Snake Coins, there is a right-profile relief of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. In this portrait, the Queen is shown wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
Reverse
The reverse side of 2001 Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coins exhibits a design that depicts a snake coiled along a thin tree branch. This design was reserved for the gold bullion coins in the Lunar Series I program, as the silver coin in the series had a different design. Additionally, the later Lunar Series collections used various snake designs for the Year of the Snake.
History
According to Chinese folklore, the snake is considered a powerful and mystical animal that is associated with transformation, healing, and wisdom. Some legends even claim that snakes have the ability to shape-shift into humans or other animals. In Chinese culture, the snake is also associated with wealth and prosperity, and is often depicted with a coin in its mouth as a symbol of good fortune.
