In 1996, the Perth Mint launched its lunar-themed coin series, which has become the most popular lunar collection globally. Building on the success of Lunar Series I, which started in 1996, the series has continued with new designs every 12 years. The latest in this series is Lunar Series III, introduced in 2020.

The Year of the Wood Snake happens once every 60 years, blending the 12-year animal cycle with the 5-element cycle. The most recent Wood Snake year was 1965, and the next will be 2025. These years are considered especially lucky, as the qualities of wood are thought to enhance the natural traits of the snake.

Each 2025 1 Kilo Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and comes in an individual plastic capsule. Perth Mint has set no mintage limit for this 1 Kilo silver coin, meaning it will be struck until the next design is released in the series.

The obverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Lunar Snake features the first-generation portrait of King Charles III. Created by Dan Thorne in 2024, this left-profile bust shows the king without a crown. This is the first time Charles III appears on Perth Mint Lunar Series coins, marking a new chapter in the series.

The reverse design of the 2025 1 Kilo Silver Lunar Snake Coin showcases a coiled snake, set against a jungle background with branches and leaves above its head, and a river flowing towards distant mountains.
