Description: In Stock and Ready for Immediate Shipment!Long SOLD OUT at the Royal Canadian Mint! Celebrate the important Year of the Snake with this stunningly dramatic and unusually-shaped pure silver proof! The year 2013 is ruled by one of the most popular and auspicious of all the lunar zodiac signs—the clever Snake! The Snake personality is graceful and soft-spoken. It has a hypnotic beauty and never gives itself totally away. The mysterious Snake is a strategic planner that has everyone guessing its next move. It will keep plotting until it gets what it wants (and when it does, it is not likely to let go!). The Snake is a strong individual and is usually destined for great success. This cunning, clever animal is made all the more desirable by the Royal Canadian Mint's new lotus-shaped snake pure silver proof, dramatically rendered by the fine engravers at the Mint in precious silver! The Year of the Snake—Intelligent and Clever! Centuries ago, the Chinese invented a calendar based on the lunar (rather than the solar) cycle. There are twelve animals in the Chinese lunar zodiac, each corresponding in sequence to a year rather than a month. In 2013 we celebrate the Year of the Snake. According to tradition, people born during a Year of the Snake (1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, and 2013) are said to exhibit that animal’s attributes. Snake people often enjoy new ideas, innovative thoughts and progress, but some will reject advice from anyone but to themselves, although, most snake people are loyal friends and make great company. The Snake is strongly associated with deep mysticism, valuable wisdom, and knowledge. Most snake people are enigmatic, deep thinking, and maybe the wisest of all Chinese Horoscope signs. Most snake people enjoy learning, reading, and eating good food. They can also be concerned about their outer appearance. Snakes' best attribute is their excellent ability to communicate with others and successfully engage in interesting conversations. For the Chinese people, the snake symbolizes intelligence, happiness and auspiciousness. In certain parts of China people call the snake the “dragon in heaven” or “celestial being”. At Dangfu in East China’s Anhui Province, people call the snake the “dragon at home”. This is the fourth annual release in the Lunar Zodiac Round Proofs series from Canada! Technology Note The Royal Canadian Mint refines the purest silver in the world. The RCM is also the only mint in the world to issue commemorative coins in a .9999 fineness. This fine silver coin is 99.99% pure! Obverse A sensational rendering of a camouflaged snake that captures the animal's mystery and hypnotic grace. The upper right-hand portion of the central polished silver field is dominated by overhanging embossed leaves. Recalling the sinuous lotus-shaped edge of the coin, the snake’s body is partially hidden by this stylized foliage as it peeks enigmatically from its place of cover, the powerful curves of its textured and patterned body wending their way gracefully across the center of the coin. This body is engraved in full textural detail, making the snake appear ready to slide from the coin toward its destiny. The Chinese character for "Snake" appears to the lower left. There are no legends on the obverse to detract from the power and the beauty of the dramatic design. Reverse Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in profile facing right. This portrait, the fourth effigy of the queen to appear on Canadian Coinage, was executed by the artist Susanna Blunt. The legend ELIZABETH II, the date of issue and the denomination also appear. Packaging The coin is encapsulated inside an exquisite, silver satin brocade, clamshell-style presentation case, lined with black velvet and satin, and protected by a red outer sleeve. An individually-numbered certificate of authenticity is included.
