The Year of the Water Snake last appeared in 2013 and won’t return until 2073. This zodiac year is linked with traits like deep thought, adaptability, and inner awareness. In Chinese astrology, the Snake is known for being wise and reflective. When paired with the Water element, these qualities are thought to grow stronger, promoting flexible thinking, emotional depth, and a thoughtful approach to life.

On the obverse of the coin, you’ll find a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the 1998 design by Ian Rank-Broadley, showing the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. This design was widely used on Australian coins during her reign.

The reverse of the 2013 Silver Kookaburra Snake Privy Coin shows two kookaburras sitting together on a tree branch. This side of the coin also includes a small circular privy mark featuring a snake, representing the Year of the Water Snake. People born in Water Snake years are thought to move around obstacles rather than face them head-on, favoring smart, creative solutions and time for introspection.
