🇦🇺 Lunar III Snake 2025 – 1 oz Silver Coin – Colorized Proof – Australia’s Serpent in Artistic Color Minting
The Lunar III Snake 2025 – 1 oz Silver Coin in colorized proof quality unites cultural symbolism, refined craftsmanship and an exceptionally vivid artistic finish. As part of the renowned Lunar III series, this edition honors the Chinese zodiac sign of the Snake, a symbol associated with wisdom, intuition, elegance and inner balance. In the colorized proof version, the motif gains remarkable depth, enhanced through the interplay of polished proof surfaces and carefully applied coloration.
The reverse depicts the graceful form of a snake, its body gently curving across the design field. The colorized detailing accentuates each scale and creates an appearance of natural movement, giving the serpent an almost lifelike presence. The subtle yet vibrant color tones enhance the elegance of the zodiac symbol and emphasize the calm, contemplative spirit traditionally associated with the snake. Surrounding the motif are the customary inscriptions of the Lunar series, along with the Perth Mint’s mintmark confirming its authenticity.
The obverse features the portrait of King Charles III, rendered with fine precision and a composed expression. The high-gloss proof background forms a clear counterbalance to the vibrant reverse, highlighting the refined and dignified character of the royal effigy.
Struck from 99.99% pure silver, the coin combines the brilliance of proof quality with the visual richness of expert color application. The 1 oz size offers ample room for the detailed artwork while maintaining an elegant and balanced presentation. Each coin is polished and finished through meticulous individual steps – a hallmark of the Perth Mint’s exceptional production standards.
