| Additional information |
The Isle of Man Government's relationship with the Chinese lunar calendar series dates to the 1980s, when the Pobjoy Mint — the island's longtime striking partner — recognized an underserved collector market in commemorative lunars issued outside the major sovereign mints. The Year of the Snake falls in a twelve-year cycle that last recurred in 1989 and 2013, giving the 2001 issue its fixed calendrical position with no numismatic ambiguity about which snake year is intended.
Pobjoy struck these proofs at their Kington upon Thames facility under license from the Manx treasury.
