DID YOU KNOW?

Every year in the Chinese zodiac’s 12-year cycle is ruled by a different sign, and each zodiac animal is associated with one of the five elements, meaning the Wood Snake is only celebrated once every 60 years. The last Year of the Wood Snake was 1965, and the next one after 2025 will be… 2085.

The 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.

Inspired 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.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
