2025 Tokelau $5 1-oz Silver Year of the Snake Mirror Proof

Year Of The Snake Coin Is Like Two Coins In One!

January 29, 2025 will fall smack in the middle of the week on a Wednesday. But more than just your typical “Hump Day,” it’s also when the Year of the Snake officially begins. The sixth sign in the Chinese Zodiac’s 12-year lunar cycle, the Snake is the sign of intelligence, strength, loyalty, and charm. People born during the Year of the Snake are said to be sensitive, humorous, and smart. In Chinese culture, the snake is a spiritual animal that, like monkeys, pigs, and dragons, is said to bring good luck to one’s family. To pay tribute to this lunar year, the island nation of Tokelau has issued an extremely limited proof coin that’s actually like two coins in one! This beautiful coin is struck in a full troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver and features both a traditional proof finish AND a unique reverse proof finish!

Simple Yet Elegant Year-Of-The-Snake Design

This simple-yet-elegant design depicts two slithering snakes as mirror reflections of each other, each occupying one half of the coin. The left half of the coin features a standard proof finish with a frosted image against a mirrored background. The coin’s right half is just the opposite—a reverse proof finish with a mirrored image and a frosted background! The graceful design really stands out on this extraordinary legal-tender coin that measures an impressive 65 mm in diameter. Plus, your proof will come in its original mint packaging and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

The Chinese Lunar Calendar’s Year of the Snake occurs every 12 years. If you happen to be someone who was born during a Snake Year—1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, or 2013—2025 stands to be an auspicious year that will boost your natural qualities. Some famous “snakes” from history include Abraham Lincoln, Audrey Hepburn, Anne Frank, Franklin D. Roosevelt, J.K. Rowling, Mahatma Gandhi, Nicolaus Copernicus, Pablo Picasso, and Stephen Hawking.
