While the Snake finished behind faster animals like the Horse and Tiger, its ability to move silently and think strategically has made it a respected symbol in Chinese culture for millennia. Throughout Chinese history, Years of the Snake have often been marked by significant cultural and political developments. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE), several Snake years coincided with important astronomical discoveries and advances in medicine.
The obverse of 2025 Proof Macau Silver Lunar Snake Coins features an image of Lilau Square in Macau. Lilau Square, or Largo do Lilau in Portuguese, stands as one of Macau’s most historic public spaces, centered around a natural spring that once served as the city’s primary water source during the early Portuguese colonial period. The name “Lilau” comes from the Portuguese pronunciation of the Chinese characters meaning “mountain spring.”
On the reverse of 2025 5 oz Proof Silver Lunar Snakes is the image of a snake slithering through the design field. The snake’s figure is finished with emerald green colorization in a pattern that is inspired by Portuguese-inspired tile artwork.
