In 2013, the spectacular and popular Australian Lunar II Gold Coin Series celebrates the Year of the Snake, the sixth animal in the twelve year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

These superb releases are perfect for people born in ‘snake’ years.

The birth dates for people ruled by the Chinese Lunar snake include 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013. Those born under the influence of this sign are said to be intelligent, graceful, independent, analytical and charming.
