In 2025 we celebrate the Lunar Year of the Snake. People who are born under this sign are said to be wise, calm and observant. This 2025 50c Uncirculated Tetradecagon Coin, with its timeless and auspicious design, will make an honoured and traditional gift for Chinese New Year. Each year of Sheng Xiao, the Chinese Zodiac, is represented by one of the twelve animals. Each creature's unique characteristics are said to be shared by those born under their sign. People born in the year if the Snake are also believed to be creative and serene. Famous Snakes include musicians Taylor Swift and Neil Diamond, actor Daniel Radcliffe, Australian performer Emma Watkins and cricketing brothers Steve and Mark Waugh. The Chinese calendar also rotates through the elements of earth, fire, water, metal and wood as part of a larger 60-year cycle. In 2025 we honour the Wood Snake, and people born under this sign are said to be cool headed and creative. This stunning 2025 50c Uncirculated Tetradecagon Coin celebrating the Year of the Snake, is the second release in the Royal Australian Mint's reimagined Tetradecagon Lunar Series.
