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

The Coin Company is proud to present Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1oz 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.

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 1oz Silver Proof Coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver and has a limited mintage of 5000 coins.
