2025 King Charles III 'Lunar Year of the Snake' 999.9 1oz Gold Proof Coin

The lunar year of the Snake is the first coin to be released by the Royal Mint bearing the date 2025.

We have celebrated the Chinese zodiac since 2014, releasing new additions to The Shēngxiào Collection every year. Each coin fuses British craftsmanship with ancient Chinese traditions, ensuring the heritage and history behind this practice is evident in each design. This year is a special moment in the lunar calendar as the Snake appears only once every 12 years – meaning this is a unique opportunity to mark an important Chinese tradition.
