The emblem is rendered in high relief against a finely detailed background incorporating traditional decorative border elements. The inscription '中华人民共和国' (People's Republic of China) arcs along the upper periphery in Chinese characters, with the year of issue '2013' displayed in the lower field beneath the emblem. |

China's lunar silver series has been issued annually since 1981, making the Snake one of the later entries in what is now a multigenerational run. The 2013 issue marked the fourth Snake coin in the series — each twelve-year cycle producing a new design rather than repeating the old, a policy that distinguishes the Chinese program from many sovereign bullion series that freeze their designs indefinitely.
