2025 Bhutan Lunar Snake

A rather nice coin that I was not expecting.

Another fantastic piece and great review jonrms 🧲

I love this series    and, yes, I have been collecting it. The only hiccup along the way was the Monkey in 2016 - I was never able to get hold of the BU version. I have seen pictures of it but it never seemed to be on sale. I did get the proof Monkey, though, so I do sort of have the complete series to date, although there's a gap in the 12 space coin box tray that the BU Monkey should go in. There was an earlier lunar series from Bhutan, which is now very expensive, so I'm hoping that this will appreciate too. Not that I'm planning on selling it.
One thing I was wondering, and it doesn't appear on Martin's description, is the mintage. They started off at 200,000, dropped to 50,000 with the Tiger, and dropped again to 20,000 this year for the Dragon. Do you have any idea what it might be for the Snake  @Admin ?

I dont sadly boss.

I went on Singapore Mints website and all I could find is the Proof versions. And that low mintage.

There was no sign of the BU versions.

I also had a look for that 2016 and OMG thats a ghost coin.

It is, isn't it. I just consider myself incredibly lucky to have the proof, and I haven't seen that on sale again.
On Snake mintage, I have been fossicking around, and Srebrna Mennica (no, I don't know either) have it listed and state a mintage of 20,000. But that's the only reference to a mintage I found.

I have at least one reliable viewer whom I asked to help locate a BU coin from who lives in Singapore.

So fingers crossed.. She might be able to help.
