{{/presale}}The Year of the Snake takes center stage in 2025, representing the sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac. This year celebrates the Year of the Wood Snake, a rare event that only occurs once every 60 years. The Perth Mint honors this occasion with its Lunar Series III program, which features a variety of stunning coins, including this high-relief proof option. Right now, 2025 1 oz Proof Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins are available at BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2025 1 oz Proof Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin comes with premium packaging from the Perth Mint. The coin is presented in a classic black display case with a clear lid and housed in a themed box honoring the Year of the Snake. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, and the proof finish with high-relief detailing brings the imagery to life.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Proof Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin features King Charles III in left-profile relief. This design, created by Dan Thorne, marks the first official use of Charles IIIs effigy on Australian coinage.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 2025 1 oz Proof Silver Lunar Snake Coin depicts a coiled snake resting beneath overhanging foliage. Its body is curled in a natural pose with its head slightly raised. In Chinese culture, snakes are seen as symbols of intelligence, good fortune, and healing.
History
The snake has long been revered in Chinese mythology, often associated with creation and healing. Stories like that of Nwa, a snake-bodied goddess who created humanity and restored the heavens, highlight the snakes importance in Chinese culture as a symbol of renewal and power.
