Story
Auspicious sign
Each animal of the lunar zodiac is said to bestow desirable characteristics on those born during its rule. The sixth of 12 auspicious animal symbols, the snake confers wisdom, intelligence, independence, and charm on those born under its influence in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, and every 12th preceding year.
Gold privy mark
The coin portrays a coiled blue snake on the ground beneath hanging leaves. Also included in the design is a 1-gram pure gold privy insert portraying the Chinese character for ‘Snake’, the inscription ‘SNAKE 2025’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
H.M. King Charles III effigy
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.
