Comment
Issued by the Perth Mint - $5 One Twentieth Ounce Gold Lunar Series 1 Coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2001 Australian 5 Dollar Gold Bullion Coin (4th Portrait - Year of the Snake) is that it has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's obverse (front) side features a special "privy mark" in the form of a small snake, which is located above the Queen's shoulder. This privy mark was added to the coin's design specifically to commemorate the Year of the Snake in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, which is represented by the snake. This privy mark is not found on any other coins in the series, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
