2025 is the Year of the Snake according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar and, much like the way a snake sheds its skin, this year is predicted to bring opportunities for personal and professional growth. After all, the Snake is considered to be a symbol of transformation and rebirth, representing periods of change or personal development. In Chinese culture, the Year of the Snake is seen as a time to reflect on one’s goals and pursue them with determination. To help you focus on those concepts, Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint is releasing this lovely Year-of-the-Snake coin that depicts a colorized 福 “Fu” symbol representing prosperity.

Beautifully struck in a half ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, this 2025-dated Australian legal-tender half dollar also features a curving snake slithering alongside the Fu symbol. In Chinese culture, the Snake is often associated with traits such as wisdom, intuition, elegance, and cunning. People born in this year are believed to be intelligent, resourceful, and graceful, though they may also possess a mysterious or secretive side. The Year of the Snake begins on January 29, 2025 and ends on February 16, 2026.

While 200,000 of these 2025 Australia Half-Ounce Silver Year of the Snake “Fu” – Prosperity Colored Coins have been authorized for worldwide release, no more than 5,000 will be issued in this illustrated collector card. Perfect for gift-giving, this delightful coin-and-card offering is ready to make its mark in anyone’s collection
