A letter from the General Manager
Probably the longest running coin series of its type in the world , the Australian Lunar Series has fascinated our collectors for more than three decades . The belief that 12 animals in the lunar zodiac have a say in our personal destiny continues to captivate many .
Each year we undertake the exciting process of designing a new set of Lunar coins . In 2025 they celebrate the sixth animal in the 12-year cycle . To all those born in the Year of the Snake , we hope it ’ s a time of enormous achievement , happiness , and great fortune !
With artistic input from talented designers highly versed in lunar folklore , we hope you are impressed by their aesthetic qualities .
Every coin is backed by our reputation for accuracy and precision , its gold and silver content guaranteed for weight and purity . With the added assurance of Australian legal tender , each one represents a valuable keepsake and exclusive good-luck piece .
So as the Snake prepares to re-affirm its astrological influence in 2025 , celebrate this incredible numismatic achievement with a coin dedicated to the sixth lunar champion .
