{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The Year of the Snake begins in 2025, representing the sixth animal in the 12-year Chinese Zodiac cycle. This year brings added significance as it celebrates the Year of the Wood Snake, a rare variation that happens only once every 60 years. The Perth Mints Lunar Series III collection expands beyond Brilliant Uncirculated coins to include proof, colorized, antique, and high-relief designs. Right now, 2025 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins with a gilded finish are available at BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2025 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin is packaged in a classic black display case from the Perth Mint. The case has a clear acrylic lid and comes with themed packaging and a Certificate of Authenticity. The total mintage is limited to 25,000 coins, with only 23,500 available individually.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin features the first effigy of King Charles III on Perth Mint coins. Designed by Dan Thorne, this portrait shows the King in left-profile relief without a crown.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Silver Lunar Snake Coin, the design highlights a coiled snake. The scene features the snake resting beneath low-hanging branches, with a tranquil setting of mountains and water in the background.
History
Snakes have been significant in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries. Remedies involving snakes, such as snake wine, are believed to promote healing for ailments like arthritis and skin conditions. This association ties the snake to broader themes of physical and spiritual health in Chinese culture.
