Embracing the energy of the Year of the Snake, the Australia 2025 Lunar Series III - Year of the Snake Silver Coin is a unique piece that captures this ancient legend. Crafted from 99.99% fine silver, this coin is a tribute to the Snake, the sixth Chinese zodiac sign. Each lunar calendar animal is believed to impart unique qualities to those born in its year. In Chinese astrology, the Snake is considered a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and elegance. These qualities are believed to manifest strongly in those born under the sign of the Snake in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, and every 12th preceding year.
The reverse of this stunning silver coin showcases a beautifully detailed snake elegantly coiled with a watchful posture on the ground against a serene natural landscape and beneath hanging leaves, symbolising resilience and adaptability, critical traits associated with the Snake in Chinese culture. The design features the snake with intricately etched scales, capturing the creature’s textured skin and sinuous form. The design includes the Chinese character for 'snake'(蛇), the inscription 'SNAKE 2025,' and The Perth Mint’s signature “P” mintmark. The obverse is the first lunar coin designed to bear the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, face value, and country of issue.
As the Year of the Snake unfolds, the Australia 2025 Lunar Series III - Year of the Snake 99.99% BU Silver Coin 1oz offers a unique opportunity to connect with this revered zodiac sign's ancient wisdom and potent symbolism. The artwork reflects the harmony between nature and the mystical qualities associated with the Snake, capturing the essence of this lunar year's spirit beautifully and timelessly. Crafted with unmatched precision and artistry, this coin is more than a piece of precious metal; it is a token of cultural heritage, a celebration of those who embody the Snake's qualities, and a treasure that holds its value across time.
The Perth Mint's Australian lunar series is based on the Chinese zodiac's 12 animals. Coin collectors are obsessed with each annual issue, which explains the 12-year series' durability. The Perth Mint, founded in 1996, was the first to launch an Australian lunar coin programme. It's been so popular that it's been renewed for a third season.
The rich heritage and magical mythology of the Chinese Great Race are the centrepiece of these beautiful silver collector coins from Australia.
