Australia 2025 Year of the Snake Gold Proof Coins
The sixth year of The Perth Mint’s highly anticipated Australian Lunar Series III is marked by the release of stunning 1oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz gold proof quality coins portraying the next animal in the zodiac, the Snake.
According to Chinese folklore, the emperor ordered a Great Race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. Using its guile, the snake finished in sixth place. As a result, 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.
Celebrating these traditional beliefs, the Proof Issue of the Australian Lunar Series remains the ultimate numismatic tribute to each auspicious animal. Finely honed skills and dedicated craftsmanship have ensured that year after year these coins meet collectors’ highest expectations.
Our 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’ and the inscription ‘SNAKE 2025’.
