Symbol of wisdom

Each animal of the lunar zodiac is said to bestow its dominant characteristics on those born during its rule. The sixth of 12 auspicious animal symbols, the snake confers wisdom, intelligence, independence, and charm on those born under its influence in 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977 and every 12th preceding year.

Lunar snake design

This carefully crafted pure gold bar features a minted impression of a lunar snake on a patterned background. The independent creature appears elegantly entwined around a tree branch adorned with leaves, flaunting its expressive tongue. Included in the design is the inscription ‘SNAKE’ and the Chinese character for snake.

The back of the bar is stamped with The Perth Mint's London Bullion Market Association registered mark, a stylised swan symbolising our 125 year-old reputation for quality. The logo and the bar’s weight and fineness appear on the same background pattern.

PRESENTATION:

This minted bar is housed in tamper-evident packaging which will display the word VOID around the edge of the blister if the card has been prized open. The card is charcoal-coloured with a dark, watermark-like image of the Mint’s stylised swan logo.

AUTHENTICATION FEATURE:

The minted bar incorporates authentication features. In the form of multiple micro-laser engraved letters, they are only detectable under a magnifying glass.
