This depiction was created by Ian Rank-Broadley and represents the fourth-generation effigy used on many modern Commonwealth coins. The right-facing image shows the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, a familiar element of this well-known portrait. **Reverse** The reverse of the 2013 1 oz Silver Lunar Snake Lion Privy Coin displays a carefully engraved snake resting in a coiled position. The design emphasizes the flowing shape of the serpent along with the fine detail of its scales. Background elements are lightly engraved to provide depth while keeping attention on the snake itself. **History** The Year of the Snake began in February 2013 according to the Chinese lunar calendar. Within Chinese astrology, the snake is often linked to intelligence, intuition, and quiet confidence. Individuals born during this year are commonly described as thoughtful and perceptive, often approaching life with patience and careful reasoning. As the sixth animal in the zodiac cycle, the snake is also regarded as a symbol connected with personal growth and renewal. **Ordering** If you have any questions about silver coins for sale, please reach out to BGASC.
