Silver Ounce 2025 Year of the Snake, Perth Mint, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The Australian one ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. The silver Lunar Series series was introduced in 1999 by the Perth Mint (the Royal Australian Mint started a parallel series later) and is dedicated to the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the Chinese Zodiac. Known as Sheng Xiao or Shu Xiang, it features twelve animal signs in this order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Boasting a history of more than 2,000 years, it plays an essential role in Chinese culture. The animals zodiac in a cycle are not only used to represent years in China, but also believed to influence people’s personalities, career, compatibility, marriage, and fortune. This coin is part of Perth Mint's extensive range of coins celebrating the 2025 Chinese Lunar Year of the Snake (29 January 2025 - 16 February 2026). It is the sixth release in its Lunar Series III - in other words, the third 12-year cycle of Lunar coins. The mint says about it: The sixth position in the Chinese zodiac, the Snake is a symbol for wisdom, charm and independence. Those lucky enough to be born under this sign are believed to be passionate, articulate and intelligent - making great leaders. Year of the Snake throughout time: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025. Lucky for those born in the Year of the Snake: numbers 2, 8, 9; colours black, red, yellow; plants: orchid, cactus. | ||||||
