The Year of the Snake Design

Each year in the Perth Mint’s Lunar Series features a new design inspired by the Chinese zodiac, and the 2025 release honors those born in the Year of the Snake. Known for their intelligence, introspection, and elegance, individuals born under this sign are often admired for their calm and strategic nature.

Sean Rogers’ design captures these characteristics through a beautiful landscape and selective colorization that highlights the snake’s sinuous form in cool tones of blue, green, and white. The dynamic setting — a winding stream beneath rich foliage — adds life and serenity to the coin’s presentation.

Perth Mint’s Lunar Series III

The Lunar Series III launched in 2020 and continues the Perth Mint’s tradition of high-quality lunar-themed coinage. Following the popularity of Series I (1996–2007) and Series II (2008–2019), Series III maintains collector interest with low mintages, fresh artwork, and meticulous quality.

Each 1 oz Silver BU coin in Series III is capped at a maximum mintage of 300,000, but only 50,000 of this colorized version will be released worldwide — making it significantly scarcer than the standard BU counterpart.
