| Reverse description | A vibrantly colored snake, rendered in red and purple applied color with detailed scale work, is depicted coiled around the bare branches of a gnarled tree, its head extending forward in the lower right portion of the field. The background, executed in fine engraving without color, features a traditional arched stone bridge with balusters and a rocky stream below, with stylized mountains in the middle distance — evoking a classic East Asian landscape composition befitting the Lunar Year of the Snake. The Perth Mint mintmark 'P' and the designer's initials 'LB' appear in the lower left field. |

| Additional information |
The "Year of the Snake" series from Perth Mint marks the forty-fifth year the mint has produced lunar-themed bullion issues, a program that began in 1996 and has accumulated a dedicated collector base across Asia and the broader precious metals market. This particular piece is the final quadrant in a four-coin set designed to interlock — each quarter carrying a section of a larger composition that only resolves when all four are assembled together. Perth has used the quadrant format sporadically across its lunar releases, borrowing a presentation concept more common in modern numismatic sets than traditional bullion.
KM#815 cross-references place this firmly within the second lunar series cycle.
