| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a coiled snake, its body rendered in fine scale relief occupying the majority of the field. The serpent's head is shown in the lower left, mouth open and forked tongue extended, conveying a sense of alertness and power. The inscription SNAKE SILVER OUNCE 2013 runs diagonally along the left side of the field. In the lower right, a small outline map of the African continent is incused, accompanied by the legends AFRICA, 1oz Ag, and .999, certifying the coin's bullion specification. The brushed antique-finish field provides contrast against the finely struck relief of the reptile's scales. |
