The Chinese Lunar Calendar operates on a repeating 12-year cycle, with each year associated with a different animal. According to legend, the Jade Emperor selected these animals based on their order of arrival during the Great Race. The Year of the Snake will return in 2025, represented by the Wood Snake, which is the sixth animal in the cycle. Right now, 2025 Antique Fiji Snake Rectangular 5 oz Silver Coins are available from Provident Metals.
