| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylized coiled snake rendered in an ornate, folk-art inspired design, its body forming a continuous spiral occupying the majority of the inner field, which is set against a blackened background to enhance contrast. The serpent's head is positioned at the centre of the coil, facing the viewer, with a single faceted green Swarovski crystal inset as the eye, adding vivid colour to the monochromatic composition. The body of the snake is elaborated with intricate scale-like texturing and angular geometric patterning reminiscent of traditional decorative motifs associated with the Chinese lunar zodiac. A polished, unadorned outer border ring frames the design, providing a clean separation between the decorated inner field and the coin's edge. The overall composition commemorates the Year of the Snake in the Chinese lunar calendar cycle. |
