Each 2025 1 oz Colorized Australian Lunar Snake Silver Coin was issued by the Perth Mint for the 2025 Melbourne ANDA Money Expo. This coin show took place in Melbourne, Australia, on February 15th and 16th, 2025. These coins come in a themed presentation card featuring the same colorized Lunar Snake design found on the coin itself.

The Year of the Snake is the sixth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Lunar Calendar. According to legend, during the Great Race, the snake used its intelligence and patience to gain an advantage. It quietly coiled around the horse’s hoof as the race neared its end. At the final river crossing, just as the horse prepared to reach the shore, the snake uncoiled, startling the horse and slithering ahead to secure its place as the sixth animal in the cycle.

The obverse of 2025 Colorized Australian Lunar Snake Silver Coins features a portrait of King Charles III. This left-profile effigy, created by Dan Thorne, is the first depiction of His Majesty to appear on Australian coins. The design shows King Charles III without a crown.

On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Colorized Lunar Snake Silver Coins, you’ll find Perth Mint’s Year of the Snake design. The image depicts a coiled snake beneath foliage, with a winding river in the background leading toward distant hills. This Melbourne ANDA Money Expo edition includes distinctive green-and-yellow colorization on the snake.
