| Reverse description | A stylized, colorfully rendered cartoon baby snake coiled in an S-shape occupies the center of the field, depicted in shades of golden yellow and orange with detailed scale patterning, oversized expressive eyes, and a smiling face. The snake is entwined around a brown branch flanked by green foliage and mushrooms, all applied in vivid polychrome color. The Chinese character for snake, 蛇, appears in relief to the left of the central device, uncolored against the mirrored field. The arched legend YEAR OF THE SNAKE curves along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the Perth Mint's P mintmark and the designer's initials IJ appear in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
The "Baby Snake" is part of Perth Mint's long-running Lunar Series III, which began in 2020 and tracks the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle. The Snake year falls in 2025. Perth introduced the colored enamel "Baby" sub-series to capture a younger collector demographic, a commercial decision that has proven effective enough that secondary market premiums on early sell-outs routinely exceed issue price within weeks of release.
KM#807 is struck to four-nines silver fineness — a step above the .999 standard common to most silver bullion issues from the same facility.
