Celebrating the Year of the Snake, this stunning two-coin set is released to inspire wealth, wisdom and good fortune. This is one of the nicest lunar sets that we have seen so far this year.

The reverse of the wealth coin depicts a representation of a snake and a treasure chest full of golden coins, signifying wealth and prosperity, bordered by a snake motif. The inscriptions WEALTH and 2013 YEAR OF THE SNAKE also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark. The reverse of the wisdom coin depicts a representation of a snake, depicted with a Chinese abacus, a calligraphy pen, an hour glass, an ancient map and a symbolic pyramid, all signifying wisdom, bordered by a snake motif. The inscriptions WISDOM and 2013 YEAR OF THE SNAKE also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark. Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2013 year-date and monetary denomination are shown on each coin’s obverse.
