The Design
The Lunar Series III silver coins showcase a standard design.
The obverse portrays the effigy of the new leader of the British Commonwealth Community, King Charles III, designed by Dan Throne.
His Majesty’s bust is surrounded by the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, face value, and the inscriptions “CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA.”
The reverse depicts a coiled snake on the ground beneath hanging leaves. It includes the Chinese character for ‘Snake,’ the inscription ‘SNAKE 2025’, and the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark.
Because it is a proof coin, the blank surfaces reflect a mirror-like luster while the design elements are matte, making an interesting contrast.
The Year of the Snake
The Chinese Zodiac cycles through its signs annually, with each year associated with a specific animal.
The Year of the Snake returns in 2025, having last appeared in 2013, 2001, 1989, and earlier years. Those born under this sign are often seen as mysterious, wise, and compassionate.
As the sixth sign in the zodiac, the Snake is regarded as the most intuitive. 2025 is expected to bring a year filled with romance and excitement.
