The new edition of the Australian Lunar Series III of the Perth Mint is dedicated to the Year of the Snake. The snake is the sixth animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar. The sixth issue of the 12-year Lunar III series depicts an artistically designed motive showing a snake winding elegantly between bamboo stalks. The design includes the Chinese character for “snake”, the inscription “SNAKE 2025” and the Perth Mint's “P” mintmark. The reverse of the coin features a portrait of King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne, the denomination and the fineness.

The snake is said to have particularly strong intuition, wisdom, intelligence and good powers of observation. People born in the Year of the Snake are considered to be cultured, sensitive, philosophical and artistically inclined. The limited Year of the Snake High Relief silver proof coin is delivered in the original box of the Perth Mint including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
