Lunar Year coins are highly popular with collectors, and the annual CIT issues have become all-time favourites. The 2025 release honours the «Year of the Snake».
For thousands of years snakes have been perceived as creatures of deceit and malice in various cultures, yet in China they are held in high regard. Many Chinese gods are intertwined with them, such as Nuwa, who sculpted mankind from clay. She is often portrayed with a serpent’s body and a human head.
As in prior years, three exquisite and highly sought-after releases are presented. Including a spectacular, 3-dimensionally sculpted, free-standing 1-ounce silver coin, which, thanks to its antique-finish surface, can be held safely in hand as a lucky charm. Furthermore, a 5-gram silver banknote and a half-gram gold proof coin.
