The sixth year of The Perth Mint’s highly anticipated Australian Lunar Series III is marked by the release of this stunning 1/10oz gold proof quality coin portraying the next animal in the zodiac, the Snake.

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.

These 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.

Each coin is presented in a prestigious red display case with a magnetic lid. Adorned with gold lettering and a geometric design, the case is packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper portraying the story of how the Snake became the sixth animal in the zodiac and is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
