The Lunar Mother of Pearl series continues in 2025 with Solomon Islands as the issuing country and now dedicated to the Year of the Snake. This incredible numismatic centerpiece contains five ounces of pure silver struck in a proof quality finish. The true ingenuity however, lies in the Mother of Pearl inlay. It comes from the Pinctada Maxima, the largest natural growth pearl oyster. It takes up to 12 weeks to select the most beautiful shells for the series, after which they are sized and then crafted into their designs using ultrasonic waves.
Snake is the sixth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac calendar symbols.
