The Year of the Snake Coins are a part of the Perth Mint's Lunar Series II gold coins.

The Perth Mint has been in operation since before Australia was even a country. The Perth Mint was formed in 1899 as a subsidiary of the British Royal Mint and Australia did not gain independence from Great Britain until 1901. The Perth Mint has produced many popular bullion items like the Australian Kangaroo over the course of its long history.

Design
Each coin's obverse features a snake curled up in bamboo grass, poised to pounce on its prey. The Chinese emblem for the year of the snake is to the left of the snake, as is the Perth Mint's "P" mintmark, which appears on all of their coins. The "Year of the Snake" is the title of the coin, which is featured on the bottom.
The iconic profile picture of a youthful Queen Elizabeth is found in the center of the reverse of the coin. The words "ELIZABETH II," "AUSTRALIA," "200 DOLLARS," "2013," and “1/2 OZ 9999 GOLD” surround the effigy.
