Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake Three Coin Proof Set
Highlighting the sixth animal in the Chinese lunar calendar, this silver proof three-coin set is a remarkable tribute to the lunar snake and represents the very best in minting excellence and design.
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. To complete the course, each animal had to cross a fast-flowing river. 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 the set is meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure silver in proof quality and is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,000 of the Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake Three-Coin Silver Proof Set.
Australian Lunar Series III 2025 Year of the Snake Three Coin Proof Set is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
