2013 "Year of the Snake" Australian Silver Kilo Coin
2013 "Year of the Snake" Australian Silver Kilo Coin
The 2013 "Year of the Snake" Silver Kilo Coin is the sixth coin issued in the popular Australian Silver Lunar Series II. The original twelve Australian Silver Kilo Lunar coins (1999-2010) had tiny mintages (4,000 coins average per year) and are now extremely valuable and difficult to find.
The Lunar Series II coins began in 2008 and featured 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 kilo (32.15 ounces) 0.999 fine silver. These coins are simply massive and an impressive 4 inches in diameter!
