This 2001 gold 1-oz coin from the Perth Mint features the Australian Lunar Series I design for the Year of the Snake.
The coin is in BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) condition. It's one troy ounce of pure gold and has a proof-like strike type. It is what's called "four nines fine" -- 999.9% gold. (100% pure gold is essentially nonexistent due to the difficulty of refining it to that purity.)
The Perth Mint has now produced three of its Lunar Series, each of which coincides with the Chinese calendar. This 2001 coin is from the first series spanning the years 1996 (Year of the Rat) to 2007 (Year of the Pig). Series II is from 2008 to 2019; Series III is currently ongoing.
As you can see from the attached Perth Mint Series I Final Mintage chart, only 30,000 of these "Year of the Snake" 2001 coins were minted. That makes this beautiful coin very rare and very collectible.
The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's engraved likeness of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse features a finely detailed rendering of a snake curled around a tree branch, along with the inscriptions "1 OZ 9999 GOLD, 2001" and the Chinese character for the snake.
This coin will make a valuable addition to any collection or investment portfolio, or if you're trying to assemble a full set of the Lunar Series. The pictures attached are all of the same coin under different lighting conditions.
The coin will ship via USPS Priority Mail WITH REGISTERED MAIL SERVICE, which can fully insure up to $50,000. A tracking number will be provided; a signature will be required upon delivery. PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY SHIP WITHIN THE U.S. AND CANADA. Buyer pays for shipping. The coin will ship in its original Perth Mint clear plastic capsule. All sales are final. COLLECTORS: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE AN OFFER.
Thank you for considering this valuable "semi-numismatic" collectors' item.
