The Design The snake depicted on the reverse is wrapped around a bamboo trunk and is accompanied by the Chinese character for “Snake” and its English translation, the year of issuance “2025,” and a subtle “P” mint mark on the left for the Perth Mint.  The obverse, crafted by Dan Thorne, portrays King Charles III, encircled by the inscriptions “CHARLES III” and “AUSTRALIA” at the top and “1 oz 9999 Ag” and “1 DOLLAR” at the bottom, indicating the coin’s weight, purity, metal, and face value. Because it is a proof coin, the blank surfaces exhibit a mirror-like luster, which makes an interesting contrast to the frosted design elements. The Year of the Snake The Chinese Zodiac is composed of 12 signs that rotate annually over a 12-year cycle. In 2025, the Year of the Snake returns, having previously occurred in 2013, 2001, 1989, and earlier. People born in these years are often characterized by their mysterious, wise, and compassionate nature.  As the sixth sign in the zodiac, the Snake is considered the most intuitive and expected to bring abundant romance and excitement in 2025.
