The Year of the Snake is here for 2025, celebrating the sixth sign in the Chinese Zodiac. This year marks the Year of the Wood Snake, a special event that happens once every 60 years. The Perth Mints Lunar Series III program features an array of coins to honor the occasion, including this high-relief proof specimen. Right now, 2025 Proof Australian Lunar Snake 1 oz Silver Coins are available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2025 Proof Australian Lunar Snake 1 oz Silver Coin comes with premium packaging. The Perth Mint provides a black display case with a clear lid, a themed box celebrating the Year of the Snake, and a Certificate of Authenticity. The proof finish and high-relief strike bring stunning depth to the design.
Obverse
The obverse of these 2025 Proof Australian Lunar Snake Silver Coins features the official portrait of King Charles III. Designed by Dan Thorne, this left-profile depiction shows the king without a crown. The inscriptions include CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 1 OZ 9999 AG, and 1 DOLLAR.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 2025 Proof Lunar Snake 1 oz Silver Coin depicts a coiled snake resting on the ground beneath overhanging foliage. Its body is curled, and its head is raised slightly in a natural and serene pose. In Chinese culture, snakes are seen as auspicious symbols, representing healing, intelligence, and transformation. Inscriptions here include SNAKE, 2025, the P mint mark, and the Chinese character for the snake.
History
In Chinese mythology, the snake is connected to wisdom and creation through stories such as that of Nwa, a goddess with a snake-like body who is said to have created humanity and repaired the heavens. These deep cultural ties make the Year of the Snake a meaningful symbol of renewal and good fortune.
