To celebrate the Lunar Year of the Snake, the Royal Australian Mint will release this 2025 $1 Uncirculated Two-Coin Set featuring the creative and serene Snake and the Lunar calendar wheel.
The set is designed to appeal to collectors or those seeking an auspicious and traditional gift for Lunar New Year.
The Snake is the sixth of the twelve signs in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, twelve animals participated in a race across a river to allow the Jade Emperor to establish the order of the signs of the Chinese horoscope.
After the Dragon had taken fifth place the Horse looked to be next in line, but suddenly the Snake appeared at the Horse’s hooves causing it to jump back in surprise, allowing the Snake to cross the line in sixth place.
People born in the Year of the Snake are said to be creative and wise. Famous Snakes include musicians Taylor Swift and Neil Diamond, actor Daniel Radcliffe, Australian performer Emma Watkins and cricketing brothers Steve and Mark Waugh.
Features:
• Uncirculated set of two $1 coins.
• Reverse one depicts the serene and intelligent Snake amongst virtuous bamboo.
• Reverse two depicts the lunar calendar wheel, rotated so that this year the Snake takes pride of place.
• Obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III sculpted by Daniel Thorne.
• Packaged in an auspicious red and gold card and sleeve.
• Australian legal tender.
