Reverse
Steven Rosati
Inspired by traditional Chinese folk art, the reverse design by Canadian artist Jai Paek celebrates the Year of the Snake (2025) by presenting the Chinese zodiac animal with its lucky flower, the orchid. Orchid leaves and branches are positioned around its form so the Snake appears to be part of a tree, thus representing the Wood element in 2025. its head faces East – a lucky direction for the Snake – while its coiled body forms the shape of the luckiest number in Chinese culture, eight (8), which is associated with wealth and prosperity. The reverse also includes the Chinese character for “snake”, along with the word “CANADA”, the year “2025” and a face value of “15 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
