The last Year of the Wood Snake was 1965, and the next one after 2025 will be… 2085.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wood Snake is driven to succeed and rarely makes mistakes. To increase their luck, people born under the Wood Snake sign should consider 2, 8 and 9 to be their lucky numbers, while black, red and yellow are their lucky colours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by traditional Chinese folk art, the reverse design by Canadian artist Jai Paek celebrates the Year of the Snake (2025) by presenting the Chinese zodiac animal with its lucky flower, the orchid. Orchid leaves and branches are positioned around its form so the Snake appears to be part of a tree, thus representing the Wood element in 2025. its head faces East – a lucky direction for the Snake – while its coiled body forms the shape of the luckiest number in Chinese culture, eight (8), which is associated with wealth and prosperity. The reverse also includes the Chinese character for “snake”, along with the word “CANADA”, the year “2025” and a face value of “15 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRCM Number: 247678\u003cbr\u003eMintage: 18,888\u003cbr\u003eComposition: 99.99% pure silver\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 31.39g\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 38 mm\u003cbr\u003eFace Value: $15\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Proof\u003cbr\u003eEdge: Serrated\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Jai Paek (reverse), Steven Rosati (obverse)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Features:\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoin #4.\u003c\/b\u003e Celebrate the Year of the Snake (2025) with the fourth coin in a 12-year \u003ci\u003eLunar Year\u003c\/i\u003e series, which began with the \u003ci\u003eLunar Year of the Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e (2022) and features a round coin shape that symbolizes harmony.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInspired by folk art.\u003c\/b\u003e The stylized depiction of the Snake on your coin’s reverse features the same whimsical, folk art style as previous coins in the series, allowing you to greet the new year with positive energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYour lucky Snake\u003c\/b\u003e.
