Asahi Refining marks the 2025 Year of the Snake with this 1 oz silver round from its Lunar Calendar Series, pairing one troy ounce of 999 fine silver with festive zodiac artwork. It stacks at a round’s low premium, gifts well for Lunar New Year, and gives series collectors the next animal in Asahi’s annual cycle. Rounds ship new in brilliant condition.
Key Features:
- 1 Ounce Troy of 999 fine silver
- Lunar Calendar Series issue for the 2025 Year of the Snake
- One side: a coiled snake among lanterns and plum blossoms with the character 蛇
- Other side: the Asahi Refining logo with stamped weight and purity
The design side winds a serpent through a nightscape of Lunar New Year imagery. The snake loops around a textured branch, scales rendered row by row, its head curving down with tongue extended toward a hanging circular medallion bearing 蛇, the Chinese character for snake. A paper lantern dangles from the branch on the opposite side, sprigs of plum blossom bloom along the lower edge, and YEAR OF THE SNAKE climbs the left rim with the date 2025 at the base. In the zodiac, the snake carries associations of wisdom, elegance, and careful judgment. The reverse states the essentials plainly: the Asahi mountain-peak logo and name within a circular border, LUNAR CALENDAR SERIES beneath, and 1 OUNCE TROY FINE SILVER 999 around the rim.
A reeded edge finishes the round, and the stamped weight and fineness keep authentication and resale simple straight from the tube, no packaging required.
Zodiac rounds sell on a calendar, and snake-year issues leave the market once the next animal arrives. Order the 2025 Asahi Lunar Snake round today and lock in this year’s entry from a refiner every dealer recognizes.
