{{/presale}}As the Year of the Dragon unfolds in 2024, mints are already gearing up to celebrate the next animal in the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle the Snake. Among the early releases is the stunning 2025 5 oz Proof Solomon Islands Silver Mother of Pearl Year of the Snake Coin, now available at BGASC.
Highlights:
These 2025 5 oz Proof Solomon Islands Silver Mother of Pearl Year of the Snake Coins boast impressive proof qualities, including intricate frosted designs set against brilliant mirrored fields. Each 5 oz silver piece is encapsulated in a vivid presentation case accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The reverse features a stunning oval Mother of Pearl inlay.
Obverse
Gracing the obverse of 2025 5 oz Proof Silver Mother of Pearl Year of the Snake Coins is an elegant left-profile portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. This regal effigy was rendered by sculptor Dan Thorne for the Perth Mint and appears on various coin issues from South Pacific nations.
Reverse
The reverse design of the 2025 5 oz Proof Silver Mother of Pearl Year of the Snake Coin is a true showstopper, depicting a coiled snake delicately displayed within the iridescent Mother of Pearl oval inlay. Mother of Pearl, also called nacre, is the luminous inner layer that lines certain mollusk shells like those of oysters and abalones. Renowned for its shimmering luster, this resilient material is prized in jewelry, inlay work, and decorative artistry.
History
In the Chinese zodiac, certain signs are considered more compatible with each other. Snakes are said to be most compatible with the signs of the Rooster and the Ox. These relationships are believed to be harmonious and mutually beneficial. On the other hand, Snakes are considered least compatible with the Pig, Monkey, and Tiger signs.
