Description

Each 2025 1 oz Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin offered here comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. All 1 oz gold coins in this series ship in a plastic capsule, with multiples of encapsulated coins sealed together in a plastic roll of 20 coins or in a box of 100 coins. Each box holds five rolls of 20 coins each. The 1 oz coin has the only mintage cap in the series with just 30,000 coins to be struck.

The modern interpretation of Snake years, and particularly Wood Snake years, tends to focus on their potential for personal development and innovative thinking. The combination of the snake’s wisdom with the wood element’s growth-oriented nature is often seen as a powerful catalyst for positive change.

The obverse of the 2025 Australian Gold Lunar Snake Coin comes with the first-ever portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. This is the first-ever appearance of a monarch other than Elizabeth II on Lunar Series coins. Charles III is shown in left-profile relief without a crown. Dan Thorne created this effigy for the Perth Mint.

On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Gold Lunar Snakes, you will find a design from Sean Rogers. This distinct design will feature on all gold coins and the 1 oz platinum coin in this series. The image shows a snake coiled around several shoots of bamboo as foliage looms overhead of the snake.
