Comment

The year 2013 belongs to the Snake. The Snake also ruled the years 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001. However, those born in January and February should consult the Chinese lunar calendar, as the New Year does not always correspond to January 1. According to Chinese custom, the Spring Festival marks the first day of the New Year, and this date changes from year to year according to the lunar cycle and the solar year.

The Snake
Hypnotically beautiful, the Snake never fully reveals itself. This planning strategist likes to surround himself with mystery, and it's impossible to predict his next move. Tenacious, the Snake knows how to maneuver, and when he finally gets what he wants, he never lets go. He's a strong individual with a destiny generally paved with success.

Packaging:
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a padded burgundy double-shell packaging, adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case is protected by a black sheath. Automatically translated

L'année 2013 appartient au Serpent. Le Serpent a aussi régné sur les années 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 et 2001. Toutefois, les personnes nées en janvier et en février devraient consulter le calendrier lunaire chinois, car le Nouvel An ne correspond pas systématiquement au 1er janvier. Selon la coutume chinoise, c'est plutôt la fête du Printemps qui marque le premier jour du Nouvel An, et cette date change d'une année à l'autre en fonction du cycle lunaire et de l'année solaire.

Le Serpent
D'une beauté hypnotique, le Serpent ne se dévoile jamais entièrement. Ce stratège de la planification aime à s'entourer de mystère, et il est impossible de prévoir son prochain coup. Tenace, le Serpent sait manœuvrer et, lorsqu'il obtient finalement ce qu'il veut, il ne lâche pas prise. C'est un individu fort au destin généralement pavé de succès.

Emballage :
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un emballage à double coque bordeaux rembourré, orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est protégé par un fourreau noir.
