The reverse design by artist Aries Cheung captures the strength and elegance of the Chinese zodiac’s most enigmatic animal sign, the Snake, by focusing on the body’s swirling serpentine motion, which is echoed in the auspicious cloud shapes. Wrapping itself around the Chinese character for “Snake,” the zodiac animal strikes a regal pose as it faces the viewer. Its lucky flower, the orchid, represents the Wood element in 2025; rendered in a visual style inspired by brush painting and papercut folk art, the blossoms symbolize beauty, refinement and high virtues. The reverse also includes the word “CANADA” and a face value of “2500 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
