2025 124.42g Tuvalu Silver Tuvalu Silver Lunar Snake Quadrant Set PP

Celebrate the wisdom, intelligence, and charm of the Chinese zodiac with the exceptional 2025 Tuvalu 4 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Snake Quadrant Proof Coloured Four-Coin Set. This innovative and visually stunning collection from The Perth Mint is a highlight of the celebrated Lunar Series III, offering a unique artistic interpretation of the sixth animal in the ancient lunar calendar.

The reverse of this remarkable set features four individual 1 oz silver coins, each uniquely shaped as a quarter of a circle (a quadrant). When placed together, these four pieces seamlessly interlock to form a larger, circular design with a square aperture in the center, evoking the classic form of ancient Chinese "ban liang" coins. Each of the four coins presents a distinct, vibrantly coloured depiction of a snake in various poses and hues (typically yellow, green, blue, and red), set against a backdrop of a lush Chinese landscape that collectively creates a panoramic scene when assembled. This landscape often includes traditional elements such as pagodas, moon bridges, and flowing rivers, all rendered with exquisite detail. The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark is also included on each coin.

The obverse of each coin features the regal effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Jody Clark, confirming its legal tender status in Tuvalu. Inscriptions on each quadrant include "KING CHARLES III," "TUVALU," the year "2025," the coin's weight and fineness "1oz 9999 Ag," and the nominal value "1 DOLLAR."

Struck in four troy ounces of 99.99% pure silver (one ounce per coin), this set showcases superb Proof quality. This means the coins exhibit highly mirrored fields that beautifully contrast with the frosted, high-relief elements and the vivid applied colours, resulting in an extraordinary visual experience.

With an exceptionally low worldwide mintage of just 1,500 sets, the 2025 Tuvalu Lunar Snake Quadrant Set is an extremely exclusive and highly desirable collectible. It is a perfect acquisition for enthusiasts of lunar-themed coins, collectors of innovative numismatic formats, and those seeking a distinctive tribute to the Year of the Snake.
