The obverse of the 2025 1 oz Silver Lunar Snake Coin features a portrait of King Charles III. Created by Dan Thorne for the Perth Mint, this first-generation effigy of His Majesty shows him in left-profile relief without a crown.

On the reverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Lunar Snake, the design depicts a coiled snake. The snake appears guarded, resting beneath low-hanging foliage, with distant mountains and a small body of water creating a serene yet watchful setting.

The Snake has been associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. Snake-derived remedies, including snake wine, are thought to have healing properties for various ailments. This connection to TCM highlights the snake’s symbolic significance as a representation of both physical and spiritual healing in Chinese culture.
