To celebrate the Lunar Year of the Snake, the Royal Australian Mint released this 2025 $1 Uncirculated 2-Coin Set featuring the creative and serene Snake and the lunar calendar wheel. The set is designed to appeal to collectors or those seeking an auspicious and traditional gift for Lunar New Year. The Snake is the 6th of the 12 signs in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, twelve animals participated in a race across a river to allow the Jade Emperor to establish the order of the signs of the Chinese horoscope. After the Dragon had taken the 5th place, the horse looked next in line but suddenly the Snake appeared at the Horse's hooves causing it to jump back in surprise, allowing the Snake to cross the line in 6th place. 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.
