{{/presale}}Since its inception in 1996, the Perth Mints Lunar Series has featured new reverse designs each year, but the obverse remained consistent with Queen Elizabeth IIs portrait. Now, as we reach 2025, the 1/2 oz Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coins mark the first appearance of King Charles III on the obverse. These 2025 Australian Lunar Snake 1/2 oz Gold Coins are available now at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
These 2025 Australian Lunar Snake 1/2 oz Gold Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin is individually housed in a plastic capsule, while multiples of 20 are sealed in plastic rolls. The Perth Mint has set an unlimited mintage for this year, continuing production until the next coin is released.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Australian Lunar Snake Gold Coins introduces King Charles III to the Lunar Series III. This left-profile portrait, created by Dan Thorne, captures the King without a crown. His inclusion on the coin signals a new era for the series, following the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
Reverse
On the reverse of 2025 Lunar Snake 1/2 oz Gold Coins, a detailed design by Sean Rogers features a snake coiled around bamboo shoots with leaves above. This imagery ties into the Year of the Snake, a sign in the Zodiac often associated with wisdom and careful planning, symbolizing both caution and opportunity.
History
Snake years in the Zodiac have been interpreted in various ways throughout history. At times, they have been seen as years full of potential for growth and self-improvement. In other periods, they were viewed with a sense of caution, as times when hidden challenges might arise.
