| Additional information |
Australia's Lunar coin program has run continuously since 1996, but this is among the first issues to carry the portrait of Charles III following the transition from Elizabeth II — a changeover that required the Royal Australian Mint to adopt Jody Clark's effigy, the same obverse used across Commonwealth coinage since 2015. The Snake is the sixth animal in the twelve-year cycle, meaning this particular pairing of portrait and zodiac sign won't recur for another sixty years.
