Australia's lunar series from the Perth Mint began in 1996, running through the twelve-year zodiac cycle with each coin tied to the corresponding Chinese New Year. The 2001 snake issue arrived as the series was gaining serious traction among collectors in Southeast Asia, where demand for lunar-themed silver from a sovereign mint was reshaping the secondary market for Australian bullion.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II debuted on Australian coinage in 1999, making this among the earlier issues to carry it.
