Celebrate the wisdom and charm of the Year of the Snake with this exceptional release from The Perth Mint’s Australian Lunar Series III. Struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin features a striking antiqued finish, giving it the appearance of an ancient artefact while showcasing intricate craftsmanship.
Rooted in Chinese tradition, the snake claimed its place in the sixth position of the lunar calendar through a clever twist during The Great Race. According to legend, it startled the horse and slithered to victory, securing its place as one of the 12 zodiac animals.
For those born under the sign of the snake (2025, 2013, 2001, and earlier years), the coin symbolizes intelligence, independence, charm, and passion.
The reverse of the coin depicts a beautifully detailed snake coiled beneath hanging leaves, a nod to the wisdom and grace associated with this zodiac animal. The Perth Mint’s signature ‘P’ mintmark and meticulous artistry enhance the design’s timeless appeal.
The coin’s mintage is an auspicious 1,888 pieces, reflecting the significance of the number 8 in Chinese culture as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.
