The obverse of the 2025 1/10 oz Proof Gold Lunar Snake Coin showcases the first-ever image of King Charles III on Lunar Series coins. This left-profile portrait was created by Dan Thorne and originally appeared on 2024-dated coins, though it did not feature on Lunar Series III coins until now. The Year of the Snake marks the debut of this royal effigy in the series.

On the reverse, the 2025 Proof Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin features a striking design of a snake coiled in an S-shape among bamboo branches. This intricate artwork was crafted by Sean Rogers, capturing the elegance and mystery of the snake.

The Snake holds significant cultural and mythological importance in Chinese tradition, symbolizing wisdom, strategy, and a methodical approach to challenges. A Snake year is often associated with a focus on education and philosophical pursuits, encouraging deep thinking and careful planning.

Each 2025 1/10 oz Proof Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin is securely packaged in a plastic capsule and housed in a Lunar Series III-themed presentation box, adorned with Year of the Snake artwork. A Certificate of Authenticity is also included. The Perth Mint will produce a maximum of 5,000 coins in this weight, but only 2,500 will be issued in this special packaging.
