The Singapore Arms in the centre with the year-date “2013” below it and the word “SINGAPORE” in the 4 official languages around the circumference of the coin. The position of the mintmark is at 5 o’clock for all the proof coins.
Inspired by Chinese calligraphy, the snake in the centre is symbolised by the appropriate Chinese character of the “Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches” to enhance the characteristics of the snake and the oriental cultural flavour. The peony, a traditional Chinese symbol of blessings and festive cheer, incorporated on the head of the snake, ushers in the Lunar New Year. The 2 Chinese characters signifying the “Year of the Snake” are at the lower‑right of the design. The denomination of the coin in figures is below the design and the weight in troy oz/grams and fineness are at the upper circumference for all the coins except for the $2 cupro-nickel coin.
