| Reverse description | A highly detailed, sculpted effigy of a snake coiled amid drooping willow branches occupies the central field, rendered in exceptional high relief with finely engraved scale texturing across the serpent's body. The snake's head extends toward the upper left, partially obscured by foliate elements, conveying a naturalistic sense of movement and depth. The inscription CANADA appears along the left field, while the Chinese character 蛇 (snake) is prominently displayed in the lower left quadrant, acknowledging the coin's Lunar New Year theme. A small mint artist's initials appear to the right of the snake's coiled body. The overall composition celebrates the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac calendar of 2013. |
