The Year of the Wood Snake comes around when the Chinese zodiac sign of the Snake lines up with the Wood element from the traditional Five Elements cycle. The last time this happened was in 1965, and it will happen again in 2025. To celebrate this occasion, the Perth Mint has released a series of colorized silver coins as part of its 2025 Lunar Snake lineup. Right now, BullionMax has the 2025 1/4 oz Colorized Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins ready for purchase.

The obverse of the 2025 1/4 oz Colorized Silver Lunar Snake Coin shows a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This is the first official depiction of the King on Australian coins and does not include a crown. The design was created by Dan Thorne specifically for Australia’s coinage.

On the reverse, you’ll see a snake coiled under some leafy branches. The snake’s body features blue and white coloring, and its eyes are bright yellow. This artwork ties into the meaning of the Wood Snake in the Chinese zodiac. The Wood Snake is thought to combine the Snake’s cleverness and insight with the nurturing and steady qualities of the Wood element.

Wood Snake years are associated with learning, planning carefully, and growing steadily. In Chinese astrology, these years are good for making thoughtful choices and focusing on long-term goals. The Wood element adds a softer side to the Snake’s intense nature, helping to create a calm, forward-looking energy.

Each of these 2025 1/4 oz Colorized Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and includes detailed colorization on the reverse. Every coin is housed in its own plastic capsule for protection.
