Isle of Man 2001 - Chinese New Year: Year of the Snake - Cupro Nickel Crown

People born during this fascinating Chinese Lunar Year are often considered beautiful but calculating, blessed with good looks and fine intellects but at times using their charm to mask a cool and deadly determination - prepared to go to almost any lengths to achieve success. The splendidly detailed reverse design of this Manx issue is taken from a famous Chinese picture and bears the artist's Chop.
