In Chinese culture, the Snake is connected to good fortune and mystical abilities. Snake years are believed to encourage personal growth, strategic thinking, and deliberate planning—qualities tied to the serpent’s patient and calculating nature. These years are associated with periods of renewal and transformation, much like how a snake sheds its skin to begin anew.
 
The obverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Lunar Snake Coin showcases a portrait of King Charles III. Created by Dan Thorne, this left-profile relief of His Majesty marks the first-generation design for Australian coins and depicts the King without a crown.
 
On the reverse of the 2025 1 Kilo Silver Lunar Snake Coin is a detailed image of a coiled snake, colorized in shades of blue and green. The design includes a 24-karat gold privy mark surrounding the Chinese character for the Snake at the top of the field.
