{{/presale}}The Year of the Snake is the sixth year in the Chinese Zodiac cycle. Perth Mint has highlighted the zodiac animals in its Lunar Series since 1996. The Lunar Series III, which started in 2020, features new designs each year. Right now, you can purchase 2025 Australian Lunar Snake 5 oz Silver Coins from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2025 Australian Lunar Snake 5 oz Silver Coin is carefully packaged in a protective capsule. These coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and have unlimited mintage for 2025, so Perth Mint will keep striking them until the next design is introduced. A micro-engraved letter on the reverse adds a security feature.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Australian Lunar Snake Silver Coin features King Charles III, marking his first appearance in the Lunar Series III. Previously, the coins featured Queen Elizabeth II. This new design by Dan Thorne shows King Charles III in a left-profile relief. The inscription reads CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 5 OZ 9999 AG, and 8 DOLLARS.
Reverse
On the reverse of 2025 Lunar Snake 5 oz Silver Coins, youll find a detailed depiction of a coiled snake in a jungle setting. The background includes a winding river and mountains, with the snake featured prominently beneath overhanging leaves. The inscriptions include SNAKE, 2025, the P mint mark, and the Chinese emblem for the snake.
History
2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake, combining the traits of the snake with the Wood element from the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water). This adds extra meaning to the zodiac sign for the year.
