Highlighting the sixth animal in the Chinese lunar calendar, this 1oz silver proof coin is an impressive tribute to the lunar Snake and represents the very best in minting excellence and design.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. To complete the course, each animal had to cross a fast flowing river. In pursuit of the fifth placed dragon, the horse was unnerved by the sight of a snake wrapped around its hoof. As it reared in fright, the snake uncoiled itself and slithered over the line to claim sixth place. Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Snake in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989 and every 12th preceding year are said to be wise, intelligent, independent, and charming. Being passionate and articulate, they are also thought to make great leaders.

The coin’s reverse portrays a coiled snake on the ground beneath hanging leaves. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘snake’, the inscription ‘SNAKE 2025’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The coin’s obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, fineness, and the monetary denomination.


Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the set is presented in a classic display case with a geometric design on its transparent lid. The case comes in an illustrated shipper featuring a snake. When arrayed with other shippers from the series, the resulting diorama depicts all 12 animals that successfully completed The Great Race.

Lunar Year coins are highly popular with collectors, and the annual CIT issues have become all-time favourites. The 2025 release honours the «Year of the Snake».

For thousands of years snakes have been perceived as creatures of deceit and malice in various cultures, yet in China they are held in high regard. Many Chinese gods are intertwined with them, such as Nuwa, who sculpted mankind from clay. She is often portrayed with a serpent’s body and a human head.

As in prior years, three exquisite and highly sought-after releases are presented. Including a spectacular, 3-dimensionally sculpted, free-standing 1-ounce silver coin, which, thanks to its antique-finish surface, can be held safely in hand as a lucky charm.

In Chinese culture, the snake is the most enigmatic animal of the zodiac.

Natives of the Snake sign are rather secretive and cautious. They are renowned for their wise and calm nature.

According to legend, during the race to select the animals of the zodiac, the cunning serpent secretly slipped onto the horse's hoof and took sixth place. This story reflects his strategic intelligence.

Surrounded by plum blossom, a popular symbol in Chinese history, art, and lanterns, the snake depiction appeals to children. The inscription 'Year of the snake’ and the yeardate appear at the center of the coin. The ideogram of the snake appears below.

On the reverse side, all the animals of the Chinese zodiac are drawn in a cartoon-like way around the Ying and Yang symbol. A complete cycle of the Chinese zodiac will be composed from 2018 to 2029. Each of these twelve years features an animal from this calendar. The face value is visible in the center of the coin as well as the symbol "RF".

Right at the center of the obverse of the coin, a Snake undulates around a ring engraved with traditional Chinese motifs. The reptile is in motion, partially coiled around the ring and as if it were ready to escape from the borders of the coin, which are adorned with orchids, the flower associated with this sign. The sense of calm that emanates from the representation of the snake refers directly to what is one of the main characteristics of natives of this sign. The « Snake » ideogram appears on one of the curves of its body. The year 2025 and the inscription wich means « Year of the Snake » appear on the outline of the design. The reverse shows all the animals of the Chinese zodiac. They are all featured on a screen surrounding a traditional Chinese temple door. A complete cycle of the Chinese zodiac will be composed from 2018 to 2029. Each of these twelve years therefore features an animal from this calendar. The face value is visible at the top left and the “RF” mention is on the door.
