2025 Year of the Snake Rotating Charm 1oz Silver Antiqued Coin
The Perth Mint is delighted to present the Year of the Snake Rotating Charm coin, crafted from 10z of 99.99% pure silver.
In 2025 the lunar calendar marks the Year of the Srnake. Wise, intelligent, independent, and charming, the snake is said to bestow many positive characteristics on people born during its years of influence- including 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965 and 1953.
The coin incorporates a rotating gold-plated sterling silver bead resembling a coiled snake. It is surrounded by a representation of two snakes among stylised foliage. Also included is The Perth Mint's P' mintmark, and 2025 year-date.
The coin has been individually 'antiqued' to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment the appearance of each coin may vary.
