2025 $1 ANDA Melbourne Lunar Year of The Snake 1oz Silver Coloured Uncirculated Coin

The emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. In pursuit of the fifth placed dragon, the horse was unnerved by the sight of a snake wrapped around its hoof. As it reared in fright, the snake uncoiled itself and slithered over the line to claim sixth place. The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured representation of a coiled snake on the ground beneath hanging leaves. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Snake’, the inscription ‘SNAKE 2025’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
