In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Snake appears every twelve years as part of the zodiac cycle, carrying with it a unique set of energies and expectations. Individuals born in Snake years (for example, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, and 2025) are believed to inherit the serpent’s attributes—insight, intuition, and a mysterious charm. These years encourage a collective move toward introspection and deliberate planning, favoring thoughtful decision-making over impulsive actions.

The Chinese character for joy, Xi (喜), evolves into a vibrant emblem of celebration when duplicated to form Double Happiness (囍). This striking symbol, composed of two identical characters set side by side, dates back to the Tang Dynasty and has long been intertwined with Chinese wedding customs. The paired characters not only symbolize the union of two families but also the amplification of joy that arises when two lives merge.

The card includes a sealed capsule space for the coin and was introduced by the Perth Mint during the Perth Stamp & Coin Show.

On the obverse of 2025 Colorized Australian Silver Year of the Snake “Xi” Double Happiness Coins, you will find a bust of His Majesty King Charles III.
