CHARMING SYMBOLISM
In 2025 the lunar calendar marks the Year of the Snake. According to tradition, the snake finished sixth in the Emperor’s ‘Great Race’ and subsequently it has represented every sixth year in the 12-year lunar cycle.
Wise, intelligent, independent, and charming, the snake is said to bestow many positive characteristics on people born during its years of influence – including 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965 and 1953.
ROTATING SNAKE
Resembling a coiled snake, the rotating charm at the coin’s centre is made from 18-carat gold-plated sterling silver. It is surrounded by a representation of two snakes among stylised foliage. Also featuring The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and 2025 year-date, the coin has been ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact.
PRESENTATION PACKAGING
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is presented in a classic black display case with a clear lid and stylishly themed shipper.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
