| Additional information |
Australia's lunar coin program has run continuously since 1996, with the Royal Australian Mint and Perth Mint producing competing series that frequently confuse collectors. This piece belongs to the RAM's own lunar sequence, distinct from Perth's longer-running issues. The snake holds the sixth position in the twelve-year cycle, a year the Chinese calendar associated with 2013 falling between February 10th of that year and January 30th, 2014.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, introduced in 1998, was already fifteen years into circulation by this striking.
