Fascinating elegance: the Lunar III Snake gold coin weighing 1 oz 2025
In 2025, the year of the snake, the renowned Perth Mint is releasing an extraordinary coin that will captivate collectors and investors alike. The 1 oz Lunar III Snake 2025 Gold Coin is more than just a valuable piece of precious metal - it is a work of art deeply rooted in the rich tradition of the Chinese lunar calendar. People born in the Year of the Snake are believed to be ambitious, successful, intelligent and independent - qualities that are reflected in the outstanding quality and impressive design of this coin.
Background information
The Chinese lunar calendar, with over two thousand years of history, assigns one of twelve animals to each year. These animals are said to influence the personality and destiny of people born in that year. The snake, the sixth animal of the cycle, symbolizes wisdom, elegance and mystery. These qualities are perfectly embodied in the artistic design of the 1 oz Lunar III Snake gold coin, which is dedicated to the year 2025.
The reverse side
The back of the coin features an impressive depiction of a snake gracefully winding its way around bamboo stalks. This depiction symbolizes not only the elegance and agility of the snake, but also its connection to nature. Intricate details bring the snake to life, while the Chinese character for "snake" and the inscription "SNAKE 2025" highlight the coin's theme. The Perth Mint's "P" mark is subtly incorporated into the design.
The front side
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne. This is the first time this new likeness of the monarch has appeared on a Lunar coin, making the coin a historic collector's item. Around the portrait are the inscriptions "CHARLES III", "AUSTRALIA" and the weight, fineness and face value of the coin.
Special features
The 1 oz Lunar III Snake 2025 Gold Coin is remarkable not only for its design and symbolic meaning. With a limited mintage of only 30,000 coins worldwide, it is highly sought after by collectors. Once the coin sells out or the series ends, its production will be discontinued, further increasing its rarity and value. In addition, the reverse side of the coin features security micro-engraving technology to enhance its protection and authenticity.
