The Perth Mint retires every Lunar design the moment its zodiac year closes, and for 2025 the snake takes its turn in Australian Lunar Series III. These are 1 oz silver dollars struck by the Perth Mint in Western Australia from .9999 fine silver, legal tender in Australia with a face value of 1 Dollar. Each coin ships in a protective acrylic capsule, and the series carries a published maximum mintage of 300,000 pieces for the 1 oz silver snake.

The reverse presents a snake coiled on a riverbank with its head raised and its scales rendered in sharp relief against a frosted field. Willow branches drape across the upper field, the Chinese character for snake sits below them, and the inscriptions SNAKE and 2025 follow beneath. A mountain and water landscape fills the background, and the Perth Mint P mintmark appears at the left. The obverse carries the Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III, with CHARLES III AUSTRALIA above and 1oz 9999 Ag along with the 1 DOLLAR face value below.

Lunar designs change every year and are never repeated within a cycle, which gives each release a defined ending point and keeps collector demand alive long after the year passes. Beyond that, these coins deliver a full troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, one of the highest purities offered in any sovereign silver program, backed by the Perth Mint and recognized by dealers worldwide. The brilliant uncirculated finish and the capsule keep the satin fields and the mirrored snake clean in storage. If you are building a Lunar Series set or adding government-minted Australian silver to a stack, Year of the Snake dollars are a straightforward way to do it.
