| Reverse description | The central field depicts two coiled snakes intertwined in a symmetrical composition, their heads raised and facing each other at the top, rendered in high relief with detailed scale texturing against a matte background. The serpents' bodies form an elegant knot at the lower center, with their tails tapering to a fine point below. Surrounding the snakes are decorative folk-art motifs in the Ukrainian vytynanka paper-cut style: a bare oak branch with acorns at the upper left, two snowflakes at the upper right, floral and plant elements along the lower arc, and stylized geometric ornaments at the lower left and right, all set within a plain raised rim. |

| Additional information |
Ukraine has issued lunar new year coins since the early 2000s, a series aimed squarely at export markets and diaspora collectors rather than domestic circulation. The 2025 Snake issue follows that commercial logic without deviation. German silver — a copper-nickel-zinc alloy carrying no actual silver — is the workhorse material of the run, keeping production costs low against a mintage model built on collector premiums.
