The Year of the Snake is part of the long-standing Chinese zodiac, a system with deep roots in ancient culture and philosophy.

Obverse

On the obverse of the coin, the design shows King Charles III facing left. Created by Dan Thorne, this portrait captures the monarch in a simple style without a crown, a detail that reflects the mints current portrait design standards.

Reverse

The reverse design presents a detailed image of a snake curling through bamboo shoots. This artwork by Sean Rogers connects to the symbolic importance of the Snake in Chinese tradition. The animal is often seen as clever, quiet, and able to adapt, all traits that influenced its inclusion in the zodiac.

History

The zodiac system has guided cultural beliefs in China for over two thousand years. The Snakes place in the sixth position is linked to qualities like calm decision-making, sharp observation, and mystery. These meanings come from both real-world behaviors and symbolic interpretations over time.
