Celebrate the Year of the Snake with the newest release in the Perth Mint’s 2025 1/10 oz Gold Australian Lunar Snake BU (Series III) coin. Struck in one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin pays tribute to the rich symbolism of the Chinese zodiac while showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship synonymous with the Perth Mint.
At the heart of the 2025 1/10 oz Gold Australian Lunar Snake BU (Series III) coin is a striking reverse design by Sean Rogers, featuring a serpent elegantly coiled among stalks of bamboo. Evocative of ancient wisdom and inner strength, the image reflects the Snake’s legendary status in Chinese culture—where it has long been linked to intellect, independence, and transformation. The design also includes the Chinese character for “snake,” the inscription “SNAKE 2025”, and the Perth Mint’s classic ‘P’ mintmark.
For the first time in Lunar Series history, the obverse of the 2025 1/10 oz Gold Australian Lunar Snake BU (Series III) coin features King Charles III, rendered in a dignified left-profile portrait by Welsh illustrator and coin designer Dan Thorne. His Majesty’s effigy is surrounded by inscriptions “CHARLES III,” “AUSTRALIA,” AND “15 DOLLARS.” This side of the coin reaffirms its legal tender status and the authority of the Australian government.
Launched in 2020, Lunar Series III continues a legacy that began with Series I in 1996. Each year showcases a fresh zodiac animal design, drawing worldwide demand from collectors eager to complete the 12-year cycle. Like the other fractional size coins in the series, the 1/10 oz gold editions are especially sought after, with prior releases often selling out quickly. Though the 2025 1/10 oz Gold Australian Lunar Snake BU (Series III) coin has no set mintage limit, it will be available only until the next design is introduced—enhancing its potential as a future numismatic classic.
Whether you’re celebrating a 2025 birth year, expanding your Lunar coin collection, or investing in a piece of Australia’s cultural heritage, the 2025 1/10 oz Gold Australian Lunar Snake BU (Series III) coin delivers artistry, symbolism, and solid gold value in one elegant piece.
