{{/presale}}The Year of the Snake begins in 2025, marking the sixth animal in the 12-year Chinese Zodiac cycle. This year is especially notable as it brings the Year of the Wood Snake, a rare event occurring only once every 60 years. Perth Mints Lunar Series III expands its offerings with this striking gilded edition. Right now, 2025 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins with a 24-karat gilded finish are available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2025 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin comes in a protective plastic capsule and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The reverse design is enhanced by a 24-karat gilded finish, bringing extra depth and elegance to the image of the snake. Perth Mint has set a maximum mintage of 25,000 coins, with 23,500 available for individual purchase.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin features the first-ever Perth Mint portrait of King Charles III. This left-facing effigy by Dan Thorne portrays the King without a crown, a continuation of the mints tradition of dignified and detailed monarch depictions.
Reverse
On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Silver Lunar Snake Coins, a coiled snake rests beneath hanging branches, surrounded by a scenic background of distant mountains and a small stream. This intricate design captures the symbolic importance and beauty of the snake in Chinese culture.
History
In Chinese tradition, the Snake is associated with intelligence and perception, making Snake years an ideal time to focus on academic and spiritual growth. Historical records show that many important philosophical works and educational reforms were introduced during Snake years, reflecting the zodiacs connection to wisdom.
