Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin produced by The Perth Mint.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. To complete the course, each animal had to cross a fast-flowing river. In pursuit of the fifth placed dragon, the horse was unnerved by the sight of a snake wrapped around its hoof. As it reared in fright, the snake uncoiled itself and slithered over the line to claim sixth place.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Snake in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989 and every 12th preceding year are said to be wise, intelligent, independent, and charming. Being passionate and articulate, they are also thought to make great leaders.

Each coin is meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 1/2oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality and is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin has a limited mintage of 5000 coins
