The Lunar Series II has the distinction of being one of these coveted collections, appreciated by the investor and collector alike. The Perth Mint released a new design each year, based upon the Chinese Lunar calendar. The 2013 Australian Colorized Lunar Snake Gemstone Eye 1 Kilo Silver Coin is the 6th design released in the series, and represents the Year of the Snake. The coin contains 31.15 Troy oz of .999 pure silver and has a face value of $30, which is full backed by the Australian government.
Highlights:
