It depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse (showing both Year of issue and $5 face value).
As with all Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins, the Year of the Snake design includes the collection’s signature guarantee: “Fine Silver 1 oz Argent Pur” on the leaf face and a serpentine insignia on the lower left corner of the leaf.
These great releases are perfect for those born in the “Snake” years (1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, and 2013) – they are considered intellectual, superstitious, suspicious, shrewd, elegant, innate Wisdom comes, and possibly some level of supernatural ability.
