Coin Highlights:
The Chinese zodiac consists of a 12-animal cycle. The snake is the 6th animal in the cycle and represents intelligence and quick thinking. The story goes that the Jade Emperor created a race across a rapid river, inviting all of the animals. The first 12 to finish would be represented in the zodiac. The snake finished 6th, thus making it the 6th animal in the zodiac.
