The Perth Mint introduced its Lunar Series in 1996, featuring gold and silver coins that follow a 12-year cycle, with each year highlighting a different animal from the Zodiac. The Lunar Series III started in 2020, and 2025 marks a significant change with the introduction of King Charles III on the obverse. Right now, 2025 1/4 oz Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coins are available at BullionMax.

The snake, an important symbol in Chinese culture, is often seen as a creature of wisdom and insight. While it may also carry connotations of cunning or deceit, these traits are viewed in balance, reflecting the snake’s dual nature in folklore.

Each 2025 1/4 oz Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, individually encapsulated for protection. Coins ordered in multiples of 20 come sealed in a roll. The 2025 Year of the Snake represents the halfway point of the Lunar Series III and introduces King Charles III’s effigy to the series for the first time.

On the obverse, the 2025 Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin features the first-ever image of King Charles III on the Lunar Series. This left-profile portrait by Dan Thorne shows the new monarch without a crown, marking a historic change from the previous effigies of Queen Elizabeth II.

The reverse side of the 2025 1/4 oz Gold Lunar Snake Coin showcases a snake coiled among bamboo shoots, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. The detailed design captures the snake in a moment of stealth, using the jungle foliage to conceal itself.
