This 2013 dated seventh coin in the series was issued in a capsule in a wooden box.Aluminium-bronze & Fine Silver (.999) $1 versions of the coin were also issued.
The Chinese Zodiac is based on a twelve year cycle, each year being represented by an animal. People born in the "Year of the Snake" may be thought of as sly and cunning, but people born under this sign of the Chinese Zodiac are actually rich in wisdom and charm. They are guided by intuition and have an uncanny talent for judging situations correctly.
