10kg Silver Coin 2025 Year of the Snake - Perth Mint
These magnificent silver coins celebrate the Year of the Snake, the sixth of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. Each animal of the lunar zodiac is said to bestow its dominant characteristics on those born during its rule. Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Snake in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977 and every 12th preceding year, are said to be ambitious, successful, intelligent, independent and charismatic. No mintage limit applies to the 1 kilo, 5oz, 2oz and 1/2oz coins. Except for the 1 kilo release, production of these coins will close at the end of 2025 when The Perth Mint will declare each coin's official mintage. The Perth Mint will produce up to 300,000 1oz coins. Production will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series, whichever comes first. Due to the low mintage of the 1oz size it is highly sought-after and is sure to sell out fast. Meticulously struck from 99.99% pure silver, the coins are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
