Celebrate the 2025 Year of the Snake with the impressive Year of the Snake 2025 2oz .9999 Fine Silver Bullion Coin in Capsule – Perth Mint.

Struck from 2 Troy Ounces of .9999 Fine Silver, this substantial bullion coin forms part of the internationally recognised Australian Lunar Series III, one of Perth Mint's most popular annual precious metal collections.

The 2025 release celebrates the Snake, the sixth animal of the traditional Chinese lunar zodiac, through an intricate design by Perth Mint artist Sean Rogers. Each coin is issued as Australian legal tender with a $2 AUD denomination and supplied inside an individual protective acrylic capsule.

Australian Lunar Series III – Year of the Snake

Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series III celebrates the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac through a new design each year.

The Snake occupies the sixth position in the zodiac cycle and is traditionally associated with qualities including wisdom, intelligence, independence and charm.

Those born in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977 and corresponding earlier Snake years are traditionally considered to fall under its influence.

The 2025 Snake follows the Mouse, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit and Dragon releases, continuing the third generation of Perth Mint's highly collectable Lunar bullion programme.

Detailed Snake Reverse

The reverse features a beautifully detailed coiled snake resting beneath hanging leaves, creating a calm and natural composition across the large 2oz silver surface.

Also incorporated into the design are:

• The Chinese character for “Snake”

• The inscription “SNAKE 2025”

• Perth Mint's famous “P” mintmark

The artwork was created by Sean Rogers, with the larger 2oz format providing an excellent canvas for the fine scales, foliage and surrounding detail.

King Charles III Obverse

The obverse carries the official Australian coinage effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne.

Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions confirming the coin's:

• 2 Troy Ounce weight

• .9999 silver fineness

• $2 Australian denomination

The result is an official Australian legal-tender bullion coin combining modern royal portraiture with Perth Mint's traditional Lunar artwork.

Micro-Engraved Authentication Feature

Perth Mint incorporates a discreet micro-engraved authentication letter within the reverse design.

The tiny security feature is intended to make counterfeiting significantly more difficult and can only be clearly identified under magnification.

This additional authentication technology complements the coin's recognised Perth Mint manufacture, weight and four-nine silver purity.

2 Troy Ounces of .9999 Fine Silver

Each coin contains:

2 Troy Ounces of .9999 Fine Silver

with an official minimum gross weight of 62.213 grams.

Perth Mint specifies a maximum diameter of 50.80mm and maximum thickness of 4.80mm, giving the coin considerably greater presence than the standard 1oz Lunar release.

The substantial 2oz format makes this particularly appealing to collectors building complete Lunar Series III sets across multiple denominations.

Supplied in Protective Capsule

Each coin is presented inside an individual protective acrylic capsule directly in keeping with Perth Mint's official presentation for this bullion release.

The capsule protects the silver surface from unnecessary handling while allowing the detailed Snake artwork and King Charles III obverse to remain fully visible.
