| Obverse description | The central field depicts a coiled snake rendered in fine relief, encircled by the French legend 'Année du Serpent' and the date '2013', flanked by Chinese characters identifying the zodiac sign. The snake, sixth symbol of the Chinese zodiac and emblem of the Water Snake year, is framed by an ornamental frieze of scrollwork near the coin's rim. The national identifier 'RF' (République Française) appears within the design. The overall composition blends Western numismatic tradition with Chinese decorative motifs in a bi-cultural artistic style. |
