2025 Australia Lunar Series Year of the Snake 1/4 oz Silver Colorized BU Coin

The Perth Mint is pleased to present a series of silver bullion coloured coins, celebrating the Year of the Snake.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth
to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. In pursuit of the fifth placed
dragon, the horse was unnerved by the sight of a snake wrapped around its hoof. As it reared in
fright, the snake uncoiled itself and slithered over the line to claim sixth place.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Snake in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989 and every 12th
preceding year are said to be wise, intelligent, independent, and charming. Being passionate and
articulate, they are also thought to make great leaders.

Each coin in this program is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
