Thank you for your question! The 2025 1 oz Proof Silver Lunar Snake Opal Coin from the Australian Perth Mint features an opal inlay, meaning that thin, flat pieces of opal are carefully cut and set into the coin’s design. Unlike whole opal gemstones, which are typically measured in carat weight, inlaid opal is assessed by its craftsmanship and visual appeal rather than weight. This technique enhances the coin's beauty, making it a stunning collector’s piece that combines the elegance of silver with the mesmerizing play-of-color found in opal.
