25 Dollars - Charles III Year of the Snake

The Year of the Snake is the sixth animal in the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, and 2025 marks the first Snake year since 2013. Solomon Islands has functioned as a prolific issuing authority for large-format silver bullion and collector pieces since the 1990s, with virtually none of these coins entering circulation on the islands themselves — they are struck under license arrangements and distributed entirely through the international numismatic trade. At 155.5 grams, this is a five-troy-ounce format, now a well-established denomination tier in the modern commemorative market.
