An exceptional collector's set issued by The Perth Mint, celebrating the Year of the Snake in the Chinese lunar calendar. It consists of three coins made of pure silver, each weighing one troy ounce. The coins feature different finishes, making this set particularly attractive to numismatists. The set presents the cultural symbolism of the snake, considered a sign of intelligence, independence, and charm, traits attributed to people born in the year of the snake according to Chinese tradition. The coins are legal tender in Australia. The set is available in a limited edition, which further increases its collectible value. It is a must-have for fans of the Lunar series and collectors of silver coins.
Each coin depicts a snake surrounded by plants, with a subtly added Chinese character referring to the symbol of the snake. The coins feature different finishing styles: 1) proof – polished surface with contrasting matte details, giving it an elegant appearance; 2) color – rich colors on the reverse, which bring the design to life and add artistic expression; 3) gilded – featuring shiny gilding, highlighting the majestic figure of the snake. The obverse of all coins features a portrait of King Charles III and information about the denomination and silver purity. Each of the three coins is housed in an individual slot in a specially designed collector's box, adorned with motifs inspired by the Chinese zodiac, perfectly fitting the theme of the coin. The exclusive packaging and variety of finishes make the set an excellent choice for collectors and enthusiasts of minting art.
The coin set has its roots in the long minting tradition of The Perth Mint, which has been issuing coins inspired by the Chinese lunar calendar since 1996. The Lunar series was inaugurated to celebrate the rich symbolism of animals from the Chinese zodiac, with each subsequent issue focusing on a different animal from the 12-year cycle.
In 2020, Perth Mint began the third generation of this series, the Australian Lunar Series III, continuing the tradition of exceptional craftsmanship and artistic designs. The 2025 release, dedicated to the snake, is the sixth coin in this series, highlighting the symbolism of this animal, associated in Chinese culture with wisdom, intuition, and grace.
The snake is particularly valued in Chinese astrology as a symbol of intelligence and cunning. Thus, the set, consisting of coins with different finishes, not only celebrates the rich heritage of Chinese culture but also emphasizes the highest standards of minting art by The Perth Mint. Lunar sets are highly sought after by both collectors and investors due to their limited mintage and symbolic and artistic value.
