Macau's lunar series patacas are struck under the Autoridade Monetária de Macau, which assumed monetary authority from the Banco Nacional Ultramarino following the 1999 handover to China. The 155-gram format places this squarely in the five-troy-ounce category, a size that became the de facto standard for prestige lunar issues across Asian mints in the early 2000s as collector demand for large-format silver surged in mainland China.
The Snake is the sixth animal in the twelve-year cycle. 2013 was also the first full lunar year following Xi Jinping's appointment as General Secretary of the Communist Party — a political transition that briefly complicated ceremonial coin distribution channels between Macau and the mainland.
