{{/presale}}The Perth Mints Lunar Series III is known for its stunning designs based on the Chinese Zodiac. Since its debut in 2020, this series has introduced new options like platinum coins and updated designs for each of the 12 lunar animals. The latest release also marks the introduction of a new monarch portrait. Right now, 2025 Proof Australian Lunar Snake 1/4 oz Gold Coins are available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2025 Proof Australian Lunar Snake 1/4 oz Gold Coin at Provident Metals comes in a protective capsule with a Lunar Series III-themed presentation box. The box features Year of the Snake artwork, and a Certificate of Authenticity is included to confirm the coin’s authenticity and details. The Perth Mint has a total mintage of 5,000 coins, with only 3,500 available in this specific packaging.
Obverse
The obverse side of the 2025 Proof Australian Lunar Snake Gold Coin showcases the first-ever effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on Australian coins. Designed by Dan Thorne, this left-profile portrait is the first to replace Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse of Lunar Series coins. Inscriptions read CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 1/4 OZ 9999 AU, and 25 DOLLARS.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 2025 Proof Lunar Snake 1/4 oz Gold Coin features a striking depiction of a snake. The design shows the snake coiled around bamboo branches, creating a fluid S-shape that emphasizes its graceful and poised nature. The inscriptions here read SNAKE, 2025, the P mint mark, and the Chinese emblem for the snake.
History
The Snake is one of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac and is often associated with wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. In Chinese culture, the Snake is seen as a positive figure, symbolizing intuition and the ability to navigate complex situations with grace. People born in the Year of the Snake are believed to have a strong sense of determination and calmness, making this year a time of opportunity and growth.
