Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1/10oz Gold Proof Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1/10oz Gold Proof Coin produced by The Perth Mint.

According to Chinese folklore, the emperor ordered a Great Race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. Using its guile, the snake finished in sixth place. As a result, those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Snake in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989 and every 12th preceding year are said to inherit the snake’s wisdom, intelligence, independence, and charm. Being passionate and articulate, they are also thought to make great leaders.

The most prestigious Year of the Snake proof coins portray a snake curled among bamboo stems. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘snake’, the inscription ‘SNAKE 2025’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The coin’s obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, fineness, and the monetary denomination.

Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1/10oz Gold Proof Coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1/10oz of 99.99% pure gold and has a limited mintage of 2500 coins.
