2025 marks the Year of the Wood Snake in the Zodiac. The Year of the Wood Snake represents a particularly intriguing combination within the complex system of Chinese astrology, where the twelve zodiac animals interact with five elemental energies to create nuanced cosmic interpretations. Wood, as an element, introduces qualities of growth, flexibility, and generative potential to the Snake’s inherent characteristics, creating a unique energetic profile that emphasizes creativity, expansive thinking, and progressive approaches to challenges.

All 2025 5 oz Colorized Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coins are offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and secured inside a clear acrylic capsule. These coins showcase a selectively colorized reverse, highlighting the coiled snake image in vivid detail.

The obverse of the 2025 Colorized Australian Silver Lunar Snake features the inaugural portrait of King Charles III for Australian coinage. Shown in left-profile relief, this uncrowned depiction was created by Dan Thorne and officially adopted in 2024.

The reverse of the 2025 5 oz Colorized Silver Lunar Snake Coin presents a striking image of a snake curled in the foreground, its head raised in alertness. The background includes tropical plant life and a peaceful waterway, creating a naturalistic environment. The snake is colorized in brilliant blue, green, and white tones that enhance the realism and visual impact of the design.
