This Melbourne Money Expo ANDA Special 2025 Year of the Snake coin was created to mark the ANDA Money Expo held in Melbourne on 15–16 February 2025. Struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this collectible blends cultural meaning with event exclusivity. As a result, it appeals to collectors who value tradition, symbolism, and limited-issue coin show releases.
The Year of the Snake holds deep meaning in Chinese culture. Therefore, this coin serves not only as a numismatic collectible but also as a tribute to one of the most respected signs in the lunar calendar. Its special event designation further strengthens its long-term appeal.
The reverse features a vibrant green snake, coiled gracefully beneath hanging leaves. This colored design feels lively and detailed, while still remaining balanced and refined. In addition, the coin includes the Chinese character for “Snake”, the inscription “SNAKE 2025”, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, confirming its official origin.
A lucky figure eight motif appears within the design, reinforcing themes of prosperity and continuity. Because of these elements, the artwork reflects both cultural storytelling and thoughtful composition.
According to Chinese tradition, the Jade Emperor called a great race to decide the order of the zodiac animals. During the race, the snake cleverly startled the horse and claimed sixth place. As a result, the Snake became known for intelligence, strategy, and quiet strength.
Those born in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, and every twelfth year before are said to be wise, confident, independent, and charming. They are also known for strong communication skills and leadership qualities. Because of this, Year of the Snake coins often carry deep personal meaning for collectors and gift buyers alike.
This coin carries a $1 Australian monetary denomination and holds official legal tender status in Australia. The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, adding authority and national recognition.
Only 3,000 coins were produced worldwide. This limited mintage ensures collectability while maintaining strong demand among lunar series and coin show collectors. The 31.107g weight, 40.90mm diameter, and 3.50mm thickness give the coin a solid and premium feel in hand.
Each coin comes housed in illustrated Melbourne Money Expo ANDA Special presentation card packaging. The card features the Australasian Numismatic Dealers Association logo and includes a fold-out stand for upright display. As a result, the packaging enhances both protection and presentation, making it ideal for display or storage.
