2013 Canada $10 Year of the Snake (Chinese Character) - 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coin

Special Edition Year of the Snake coin!


The year 2013 is ruled by the Snake. The Year of the Snake also ruled 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001. However, people born in January or February should consult the Chinese lunar calendar. New Year does not automatically fall on January 1st. This celebration is better known as the Spring Festivaland coincides with the first day of spring - a datethat shifts from year to year depending upon the lunar cycle and solar year.
