| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a sinuously rendered snake, symbolic of the Chinese Lunar Year of the Snake, executed by engraver Stan Witten with a sophisticated tripartite finish technique. The design combines brilliant relief surfaces, mirrored elements, and a striated matte background field, evoking the graceful and soft-spoken character traditionally associated with this zodiac sign. The Chinese character 蛇 (snake) appears prominently on the reverse alongside the inscriptions CANADA, the date 2013, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS. The initials AC appear as part of the design credits. The composition reflects the Royal Canadian Mint's mastery of selective finishing techniques used extensively in its lunar commemorative series. |
