Nice cultural artifact
A lovely way to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The artistic representation of the snake is elegant and not too aggressive. Would recommend.

Great addition to the second series
Consistent quality with the previous coins in this series. The only minor issue is that finding them in uncirculated condition at face value is getting harder.

Beautiful craftsmanship
The contrast between the outer ring and the inner core highlights the snake design beautifully. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect Gift for 2025
Bought several of these as gifts for family members born in the year of the snake. They arrived in perfect condition and the packaging was secure.
