This 2025 1/10 oz Perth Mint Lunar Year of the Snake Gold Coin is the 6th issue in the Australian Lunar Series III, and comes in a small, convenient fractional format. The Snake is the sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac and the coin is struck in .9999 fine gold (four nines in gold) and is an official legal tender in Australia.
This coin is offered by The Perth Mint (Western Australia's government-owned refinery of precious metals) and is a globally recognized brand for bullion coinage, making it a great entry point to owning gold sovereigns. It's also smaller in size and less expensive, making it a very popular gift, milestone celebration, fractional gold ownership, and for those wanting to start their journey into gold but haven't invested in a full troy ounce.
The Australian Lunar Series is the first bullion series dedicated to the moon theme, introduced by The Perth Mint in 1996. Series I ran from 1996 to 2010, Series II from 2011 to 2019, and Series III is now in progress from 2020 to 2031, representing another complete cycle of the 12 animals.
The Lunar Series began in Asia, where the Chinese Zodiac is an integral part of the culture, and spread to collectors in Europe and the Americas. The attractive designs, reasonable mintages, and high secondary market demand have made the series a staple choice for many precious metals portfolios, regardless of size, from this accessible 1/10 oz series up to large, multi-ounce options.
Chinese mythology has it that the order of the twelve animals was decided by the Jade Emperor who had a great race to decide the order. The snake wouldn't have been able to keep up with the horse, so it hid itself on the horse's hoof for most of the race. As the horse was nearing the finish line, the snake suddenly came into view, surprised the horse, and slithered to the finish line to take the sixth place... for good.
People born in the Year of the Snake (2025, 2013, 2001, 1989 and 1977) are traditionally considered to be deep thinkers: mysterious, determined, intelligent and caring. The Snake is a particularly special year in the Chinese zodiac because it is a Year of the Wood Snake in 2025, which is a combination of the Snake and the Wood element. However, whether you're collecting the coins in larger size or smaller size, 2025 Wood Snake coins are a once-in-six-decades thematic release, as this combination has not occurred again since 1965.
Australia's Government-owned official bullion mint, the Perth Mint has been operating since 1899. It is renowned for the excellence, purity, and design of bullion and collector coins and is one of the most actively traded sovereign coin series in the world, including the Australian Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Lunar Series.
