The new obverse design depicts King Charles III’s left profile bust, designed by Dan Thorne. The inscriptions encircling the King’s effigy read “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA” on top, “1/2 oz 9999 Au”, and “50 DOLLARS” on the bottom rim, referring to the coin’s weight, fineness, metal content, and face value.
The Year of the Snake
The Chinese Astrological Signs interchange annually. Therefore, each year is governed by a particular sign, which only returns after twelve years.
Since 2025 is the Year of the Snake, previous years of its occurrence were 2013, 2001, 1989, and so on. Those born in these years tend to present an enigmatic, wise, and sympathetic personality.
The Snake is the sixth zodiac sign on the list and is described as the most intuitive one. It is expected to bring a lot of romance and excitement in 2025.
