Appearance of the 2024 Year of the Dragon 1/2 oz gold coin
The 1/2 oz 2025 Year of the Snake Gold Coin references the Chinese lunar calendar. The reverse features an intricate image of a snake among bamboo stalks, symbolizing its wisdom, intuition, and independence. These traits are attributed to people born in the Year of the Snake (including those born in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, and 1977). In addition, there is a Chinese character for snake and the year of issue, 2025. For the first time in the series, the obverse features a portrait of King Charles III, which is a historical change from previous issues that featured Queen Elizabeth II. Information about the weight, purity of gold, and denomination is also visible. The coin has a face value of AUD 50, making it legal tender in Australia.
Historical overview
The Year of the Snake coin is part of the exclusive Australian Lunar III series. It is based on the Chinese lunar calendar, in which a specific animal is assigned to each year every 12 years. As part of this series, a new coin is released each year, depicting a different zodiac animal in a contemporary interpretation. This gives it a unique character and increases its collector's value.
Each of these animals symbolizes different characteristics that, according to tradition, influence people born in their respective years. People born in the Year of the Snake (e.g., 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977) are characterized by wisdom, intelligence, and independence. The snake, the sixth sign of the zodiac, embodies these traits, making coins bearing its image highly desirable. The Lunar series coins have gained popularity around the world thanks to their perfect finish, high gold content, and artistic design, making them not only an investment but also a valuable collector's item.
