Founded in 1896 as a branch to the British Royal Mint, Perth Mint today is one of the largest minting plants globally, owned by the Western Australian government. Manufacturer of the iconic ‘Kangaroo’ gold and silver investment coins, Perth Mint also produce a popular lunar series and a range of sought-after collector coins.
With its creative use of opal in the shape of a snake, this 1oz silver proof coin is a superb memento for those celebrating the 2025 Lunar New Year and everyone born under the influence of the sixth animal of the ancient lunar calendar.
Australia supplies the overwhelming majority of the world’s opal, a colourful mineral-like material which is put to outstanding artistic use in this exceptionally popular series. With previous Opal Lunar coins sold out, this Year of the Snake addition is sure to be another keenly sought after collectable.

The coin’s reverse incorporates a circular panel featuring a curled snake detailed in pure Australian opal. Struck elements include intricate patterning with stylised depictions of jasmine, a plant said to attract snakes. The design also includes the inscription ‘YEAR OF THE SNAKE and the Chinese character for ‘snake’ together with the 2025 year-date, the coin’s weight and purity, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
PRESENTATION:
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid that comes in an illustrated shipper.
