Issued as part of the third iteration of the Australian Lunar series, this coin carries legal tender status under Australian law and represents one of the most established annual bullion programs in the global gold market.

We carry this coin as a recognized fractional gold product suited to collectors and bullion buyers looking for a government-backed release in a smaller denomination format. At one-tenth of a troy ounce, it delivers the full .9999 purity standard The Perth Mint is known for in a size that carries a lower absolute price point than the larger weights in the same series.

We carry this coin as a recognized fractional gold product suited to collectors and bullion buyers looking for a government-backed release in a smaller denomination format. At one-tenth of a troy ounce, it delivers the full .9999 purity standard The Perth Mint is known for in a size that carries a lower absolute price point than the larger weights in the same series.
The Australian Lunar series has its roots in the late 1990s, when The Perth Mint launched its first zodiac-themed annual coin program. Series I ran from 1996 to 2007, followed by Series II from 2008 to 2019. Series III began in 2020 and continues the same fundamental structure: a new reverse design each year corresponding to the current Chinese zodiac animal, with consistent obverse elements and the same high-purity gold standard across the program.
The Perth Mint itself has been operating since 1899 and is one of the most respected sovereign minting facilities in the world. It functions as a government-owned enterprise of Western Australia and is internationally recognized for the precision and artistry of its bullion and collector coin programs. The Lunar series has become one of its flagship annual offerings, attracting both bullion buyers focused on gold content and collectors drawn to the changing designs.
The Snake holds a distinct place in Chinese zodiac tradition, associated with wisdom, intuition, and careful deliberation. Its appearance in the Lunar series follows the Dragon year of 2024 and brings its own design identity to the coin while remaining part of the cohesive visual language established across Series III.
The reverse of the 2025 Lunar Snake features a detailed depiction of a snake rendered in The Perth Mint's characteristically refined engraving style. The composition is presented against a textured background that highlights the animal's natural form, with the year of issue, metal weight, purity, and face value inscribed as part of the design. The overall presentation reflects the artistic standard that has made this series consistently appealing across its three iterations.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, which replaced the long-standing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II beginning in the Series III releases. Standard inscriptions identifying the coin's legal tender status and denomination appear alongside the portrait. The coin's surface achieves a brilliant uncirculated finish, which reflects The Perth Mint's attention to striking quality across its standard bullion output.
At 1/10 oz, this coin occupies a practical position within the gold market. The lower weight translates directly to a lower upfront cost compared to the half-ounce or one-ounce versions, making it easier to accumulate gold across multiple purchases without committing a large amount of capital in a single transaction. It also offers more flexibility when it comes time to sell or trade, since smaller denominations can be moved individually rather than requiring the sale of a full ounce at once.
Fractional gold coins do typically carry higher premiums per troy ounce than their larger counterparts, which is a standard feature of fractional bullion across all formats and mints. That premium reflects the proportionally higher production cost per unit of metal. Buyers who understand this dynamic generally factor it into how they think about acquisition cost and long-term holding decisions.
Each 2025 Gold Lunar Snake is struck by The Perth Mint to a purity of .9999 fine gold, meeting the standard required for inclusion in precious metals IRAs and consistent with international bullion trade specifications. The Perth Mint's minting processes include precision weight tolerancing and surface quality controls that are well established across decades of bullion production. The mint mark "P" confirms Perth origin and is a recognized identifier in the global bullion market.
We verify every product for authenticity before it reaches a customer. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further reinforce our commitment to product integrity across our catalog, particularly for graded and collector-grade material where third-party certification matters most. For standard brilliant uncirculated bullion like this coin, confidence comes from sourcing directly through established channels tied to a mint with a proven track record.
This coin is graded Brilliant Uncirculated, which is the standard condition designation for freshly struck bullion coins that have not entered circulation. BU coins exhibit no wear, and the term reflects the mint's standard production quality rather than a graded numerical score from a third-party service. Surface quality is consistent with what The Perth Mint delivers across its Lunar bullion program.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to prevent contact damage during transit. Tubes of 1/10 oz Lunar coins from The Perth Mint typically contain 10 coins, and larger quantities are packaged in sealed boxes consistent with the mint's standard outer pack configuration. If you are purchasing multiple coins, the packaging format will reflect the quantity ordered, with tube and box packaging applied at the appropriate thresholds to maintain the condition of each coin in the order.
Pricing on the 2025 Gold Lunar Snake is tied directly to the current spot price of gold, with a premium applied above spot that reflects the coin's fractional weight, production costs, The Perth Mint's reputation, and real-time supply and demand conditions. Premiums on fractional gold coins are structurally higher per troy ounce than on full-ounce products, and they can also shift based on collector interest in specific zodiac designs and annual availability.
Our pricing reflects live market conditions rather than fixed retail markups. The bid and ask spread displayed on our product page shows both the current purchase price and the buyback price in real time, giving you a transparent view of the full transaction cost before you commit. That kind of pricing visibility is central to how we operate.
The Australian Lunar series is globally recognized, and The Perth Mint's gold coins are accepted and traded in international bullion markets without difficulty. The .9999 purity standard, sovereign issuance, and consistent series format make these coins straightforward to evaluate for any buyer or dealer familiar with the program. Recognition matters in resale environments, and the Lunar series carries genuine standing in that regard.
We operate a two-way market, meaning you can sell back to us at competitive wholesale bid pricing rather than having to locate a third-party buyer independently. Thinking about liquidity before a purchase is part of how informed buyers approach the market, and our platform is structured to support that kind of long-term perspective from the point of initial purchase forward.
The 2025 Gold Lunar Snake combines sovereign issuance, .9999 fine gold content, and an annual limited production format that distinguishes it from generic bullion rounds or privately minted bars. The Perth Mint does not strike unlimited quantities of each Lunar release, which means the supply for any given year is finite. That characteristic tends to sustain collector and secondary market interest across the series in a way that standardized products do not always replicate.
The 1/10 oz size adds practical utility for buyers who want government-backed gold in a smaller denomination without stepping away from the quality and recognition of a major sovereign mint. For those building a position across multiple weights or zodiac years, the fractional Snake fits naturally alongside larger Lunar holdings while adding variety to the collection.
We have been operating since 2010 with a consistent focus on pricing transparency, reliable fulfillment, and a buying experience built on trust rather than pressure. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain strong connections within the professional numismatic community.
Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it ships. We source from reputable mints, refineries, and established distributors, and we do not compromise on that standard. Our two-way market model means we are committed to competitive buyback pricing, not just competitive purchase pricing. When you are ready to sell, you have a structured and transparent option already in place rather than having to start from scratch in an unfamiliar resale market.
Our platform is built around the idea that informed buyers make better decisions, and we provide the data and pricing transparency to support that. From real-time bid and ask spreads on individual product pages to responsive customer support, every part of the experience is designed around clarity and long-term confidence.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2025 Gold Lunar Snake, without the additional dealer markups that characterize traditional retail pricing structures. Premiums and spreads reflect actual market conditions in real time, allowing members to see how supply, demand, and liquidity are influencing this specific product rather than relying on static price estimates. Real-time portfolio valuation using live wholesale bid prices gives a more accurate picture of what your holdings are worth at any given moment.
Pro also includes proprietary market intelligence and product research tools that allow you to compare premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity across the broader bullion catalog. For fractional gold coins like the 1/10 oz Lunar Snake, where premiums can shift meaningfully based on collector demand and annual availability, having access to historical premium data and spread analysis helps put current pricing into proper context.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing straightforward and secure. Major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted, along with PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, and paper check. Cryptocurrency buyers can transact through BitPay, giving digital asset holders a direct path to physical gold without converting funds first.
Every transaction is handled with security and reliability as the foundation. Whether you prefer a traditional payment method or a more modern option, the experience is designed to be consistent, transparent, and backed by the same customer-first approach that drives every part of how we operate.
