The 2025 release represents the Year of the Wood Snake. In the Chinese Zodiac, each animal sign combines with one of five elements to form a more detailed profile. Wood adds ideas of growth, flexibility, and creativity to the Snake’s thoughtful and observant nature. The result is a zodiac symbol that reflects adaptability and innovation.

Each 2025 5 oz Colorized Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and packaged in a clear acrylic capsule. The coin’s reverse features a colorized design that draws attention to the coiled snake with detailed and vibrant accents.

On the obverse of the coin, you’ll find the official Australian portrait of King Charles III. This design, introduced in 2024 and created by Dan Thorne, shows the king in left-profile relief without a crown.

The reverse shows a snake curled and alert, set in a peaceful environment with plants and water in the background. The snake’s scales are colorized in shades of blue, green, and white, giving the design a vivid and lifelike appearance.
