{{/presale}}The Year of the Snake is the sixth year in the Chinese Lunar Calendar cycle, also known as the Zodiac. Perth Mint has been releasing coins featuring the Zodiac animals since 1996. The Lunar Series III, introduced in 2020, offers new designs for each zodiac animal. Currently, you can find 2025 5 oz Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins at BGASC.
Coin Highlights:
The 2025 5 oz Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin is shipped in a protective capsule. These coins are Brilliant Uncirculated and will have an unlimited mintage throughout 2025, which means Perth Mint will keep producing them until the next design is ready. Each coin also includes a micro-engraved letter on the reverse for added security.
Obverse
The obverse design of the 2025 Lunar Snake Coin marks the debut of King Charles III in this series. Previously, Lunar Series coins featured Queen Elizabeth II. This new design, created by Dan Thorne, depicts King Charles III in a left-profile relief.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 2025 1 oz Silver Lunar Snakes features a coiled snake set against a jungle backdrop. The scene includes a winding river and distant mountains, with the snake prominently positioned beneath overhanging foliage.
History
In 2025, we celebrate the Year of the Wood Snake. In Chinese astrology, the Wood Snake integrates the snakes traits with the Wood element from the Five Elements system (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water). This system provides additional layers of significance to the zodiac animal of the year.
