The Coin Company is proud to present the Lunar Year of the Snake 2025 $10 5oz Gold Plated Silver Proof Coin.
According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. To complete the course, each animal had to cross a fast-flowing river. In pursuit of the fifth placed dragon, the horse was unnerved by the sight of a snake wrapped around its hoof. As it reared in fright, the snake uncoiled itself and slithered over the line to claim sixth place.
The Snake is the sixth animal in the Chinese zodiac, starting a 12-year cycle. People born as Snakes are mysterious, smart, wise, good at talking, determined, and caring. They value knowledge, work hard to achieve goals, and form deep bonds in relationships.
This Lunar Year of the Snake 2025 $10 5oz Gold Plated Silver Proof Coin is struck from 99.9% PURE SILVER and features Niue Legal Tender.
Lunar Year of the Snake 2025 $10 5oz Gold Plated Silver Proof Coin has a limited mintage of 888 coins.
