This product was issued as a Melbourne Money Expo ANDA Exclusive Special, at the show, by The Perth Mint

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. 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.

Design

The coin's reverse portrays a coloured representation of a coiled snake on the ground beneath hanging leaves. Included in the design is the Chinese character for 'Snake', the inscription 'SNAKE 2025', and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark. The coin's obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, fineness, and the monetary denomination. The Perth Mint will release no more than 3,000 of the 2025 Melbourne Money Expo ANDA Special Year of the Snake 1oz Silver Coloured Coin.

Presentation

The coin comes in a presentation coin card with details of the Lunar story and the Snake’s design.
