Description
In 2001, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced a $150 face value 18-karat Year of the Snake gold coin as part of the Chinese Lunar New Year series. This highly popular coin features a striking holographic image of the snake symbol.
People born in the years 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013 are all in the year of the snake. The snake is considered the most enigmatic among the 12 signs in the Chinese zodiac, and people born in the year of the snake are said to be most intuitive. Snakes tend to act according to their own judgments while remaining private and reticent. They are also determined to accomplish their goals and hate to fail.
