In 2025, the series celebrates the Year of the Snake with intricately crafted designs that collectors are sure to enjoy. Right now, 2025 2 oz Antique Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins are available online at BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2025 2 oz Antique Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin comes packaged in a sleek black display case with an acrylic lid. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, and the coins hand-applied antique finish gives it a one-of-a-kind, aged appearance. The use of rimless blanks further enhances the coins distinct design.
Obverse
The obverse side of the 2025 2 oz Antique Silver Lunar Snake Coin shows King Charles III. His Majesty is depicted in left-profile relief, without a crown, in this design created by Dan Thorne in 2024. This marks the first effigy of King Charles III on Australian coins, ushering in a new era for Perth Mint designs.
Reverse
The reverse features an artistic rendering of a snake created by Sean Rogers. The snake is coiled with its head raised in an alert stance, surrounded by lush vegetation in the foreground and distant mountains on the horizon. This image reflects the calculated and poised traits of the snake, as celebrated in Chinese Zodiac traditions.
History
The Snake is the sixth animal in the Chinese Zodiacs 12-year cycle, coming after the Dragon and before the Horse. According to the legend of the Great Race, the snake earned its position with patience and strategy, traits that continue to define its symbolism today.
