Obverse

On the obverse face of each bar is the image of a snake wrapped around bamboo. Even though the snake isnt real, the texture of its scales is very lifelike, and the snakes eyes bring the image to life. Under the snake design is the Chinese symbol for the word snake.

Reverse

The same image of a snake can be seen on the reverse of each bar; however, the new image shows the snake from a different angle. Instead of seeing the snakes face, you can see its body and tail on the back side of the bamboo. You can also find vital information about the bar on the reverse, including the mint name, assayers mark, weight, and purity.

History

According to Chinese folklore, every animal in the world was asked to come to a meeting by the Jade Emperor. However, only 12 animals showed up. These animals are featured in the Zodiac calendar. Each animal was placed in the calendar in order of its arrival at the meeting. These animals are all said to give people born in their year characteristics that they are known for.
