Chinese mythology has many stories featuring serpentine beings, including Nüwa, the snake-bodied goddess known for creating humanity and repairing the heavens. In Chinese culture, snakes are often seen as symbols of wisdom, creation, and healing, making the Year of the Snake a meaningful occasion.

Each 2025 1 oz Proof Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin is carefully packaged by the Perth Mint. The coins come in a classic black display case with a clear lid and are housed inside a themed box celebrating the Year of the Snake. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, and the proof finish with high-relief strikes gives these coins exceptional detail and depth.

The obverse of these 2025 1Proof Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins features the first official portrait of King Charles III on Australian coinage. This left-profile design, created by Dan Thorne, depicts His Majesty without a crown.

On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Proof Silver Lunar Snake Coin is a detailed image of a coiled snake. The design shows the snake resting on the ground beneath hanging foliage, with its body curled and head slightly raised. While snakes in Western traditions often have negative connotations, Chinese culture views them as positive symbols of good fortune and intelligence.
