2025 Year of the Snake 1oz Silver Trio
Highlighting the sixth animal in the Chinese lunar calendar, this silver three-coin set is a remarkable tribute to the lunar snake and represents the very best in minting excellence and design.
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.
Each coin in the set is meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure silver and is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,500 of the Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake 1oz Silver Trio.
The coins’ reverses portray a coiled snake on the ground beneath hanging leaves. Its intricate frosted design appears on an immaculately polished table. The 1oz silver coloured coin presents the intelligent serpent in striking hues, while the 1oz silver gilded coin accentuates the snake in a radiant shade of glistening 24-carat gold.
