2025 $5 Year of the Snake Fine Silver Proof Domed Coin

2025 $5 Year of the Snake Fine Silver Proof Domed Coin.

In 2025 we celebrate the Lunar Year of the Snake.

People who are born under this sign are said to be wise, calm and observant. This 2025 $5 domed coin, with its timeless and auspicious design will make an honored and traditional gift for Chinese New Year.

Each year of Sheng Xiao, the Chinese Zodiac, is represented by one of twelve animals. Each creature's unique characteristics are said to be shared by those born under their sign.

People born in the Year of the Snake are believed to be creative and serene.

Famous Snakes include musicians Taylor Swift and Neil Diamond, actor Daniel Radcliffe, Australian performer Emma Watkins and cricketing brothers Steve and Mark Waugh.

The Chinese calender also rotates through the elements of earth, fire, water, metal and wood as part of a larger 60-year cycle.

In 2025 we honour the Wood Snake, and people born under this sign are said to be cool headed and creative.

1oz of fine silver in a magnificent domed proof finish.

Each coins obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III sculpted by Daniel Thorne, as well as the lunar calendar wheel rotated so that this year the Snake takes pride of place.
