In Chinese culture, the Snake is seen as a symbol of wisdom, luck, and prosperity. Unlike some Western views, which may associate the serpent with negative connotations, in Eastern traditions, the Snake is often considered a positive figure. People born in the Year of the Snake are believed to have a strong intuition and a calm nature, making this year one of potential growth and success.

Each 2025 1/4 oz Proof Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin from BullionMax is presented in its own capsule and comes with a Lunar Series III-themed presentation box. The box features Year of the Snake artwork on the outer lid, and a Certificate of Authenticity is included to verify the coin’s details. The Perth Mint has set a total mintage of 5,000 coins, but only 3,500 of these are available in individual packaging.

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin features the first-ever effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on Australian coinage. Designed by Dan Thorne, this left-profile portrait marks a new era, replacing the long-standing image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse of Lunar Series coins.

On the reverse, the 2025 1/4 oz Proof Gold Lunar Snake Coin showcases a stunning design of a snake. The snake is shown coiled gracefully around bamboo branches, forming a continuous S-shape that highlights its elegant, sinuous form.
