Royal Canadian Mint Year of the Snake Releases

We are proud to present the new Year of the Snake releases from the Royal Canadian Mint.

The year 2013 is ruled by the Snake. The Year of the Snake also ruled 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001. However, people born in January or February should consult the Chinese lunar calendar. New Year does not automatically fall on January 1st. This celebration is better known as the Spring Festival and coincides with the first day of spring - a date that shifts from year to year depending upon the lunar cycle and solar year.

People born during the Year of the Snake have a hypnotic beauty and never give themselves 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. Does this sound like someone you know?

We have three of the Royal Canadian Mint Year of the Snake coins. Featuring the $150 Year of the Snake 18-Karat 11.84gm Gold Proof Coin. This is coin is made from 75% Gold and 25% Silver, putting the gold content at 1/4oz. Second, we have the $15 Year of the Snake 1oz Silver Proof Coin. And Lastly, we have the $15 Year of the Snake Lunar Lotus 26.7gm Silver Proof Coin. Named, Lotus for its unique scallop shape that resembles that of a lotus flower.
