  • Commemorating the 2025 Lunar Year of the Snake!
  • Comprises three 99.99% pure silver 1oz coins with Proof, coloured and gilded finishes.
  • First lunar design to bear the effigy of
    HM King Charles III.
  • Limited mintage of 1,500 coins worldwide.
  • Housed in a stunning presentation display case alongside a Numbered Certificates of Authenticity.

Highlighting the sixth animal in the Chinese lunar calendar, this silver three-coin set is a remarkable tribute to the lunar snake and represents the very best in minting excellence and design.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. To complete the course, each animal had to cross a fast-flowing river. In pursuit of the fifth placed dragon, the horse was unnerved by the sight of a snake wrapped around its hoof. As it reared in fright, the snake uncoiled itself and slithered over the line to claim sixth place.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Snake in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989 and every 12th preceding year are said to be wise, intelligent, independent, and charming. Being passionate and articulate, they are also thought to make great leaders.
