The Year of the Snake

According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, those born under the sign of the Snake (including the years 2025, 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, and so on in 12-year cycles) are believed to be intuitive, wise, enigmatic, and sophisticated. The Snake is a revered zodiac sign representing wisdom, rebirth, and transformation. This coin captures those traits in its symbolism and artistry.
