{{/presale}}The Year of the Wood Snake occurs every 60 years in the Chinese zodiac cycle, with the last one in 1965 and the next in 2025. In Chinese astrology, Wood represents growth, vitality, and flexibility. Combined with the Snake sign, it creates a distinctive blend of characteristics. Now, 1 oz Silver Year of the Snake Rounds are available online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
In the Chinese Zodiac, the Snake holds the sixth position, based on the legend of the Great Race. The Jade Emperor held a race to determine the order of the zodiac animals. The clever Snake, though not the fastest, rode on the Horse’s hoof. Just before the finish line, it surprised the Horse by slithering ahead, thus taking the sixth spot.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 1 oz Year of the Snake Rounds, you’ll find a depiction of a powerful rattlesnake. This year’s design shows the rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Inscriptions on this side read YEAR OF THE SNAKE and the emblem for the snake.
Reverse
The reverse side of the Silver Year of the Snake Round features the common symbol for the snake. Each series release includes a consistent background design, with the central symbol changing each year. For the Year of the Snake, the Chinese symbol for the snake is highlighted. The inscriptions at the center include YEAR OF THE SNAKE and 1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER.
History
The concept of lucky and unlucky numbers, colors, and directions is deeply ingrained in Chinese culture. For Snakes, the number 2 represents harmony, 8 is associated with prosperity, and 9 with longevity. Red symbolizes good fortune, yellow represents imperial power, and black is associated with water and wisdom in Chinese philosophy.
