Year 2001: Snake Fan-Shaped Chinese Silver Coin

To date, the Year of Snake is the second most expensive in the series. It obverse depicts Cheng Hai ( 长 城澄海楼) section of the Great Wall while the reverse - the snake. At the point of writing, I do not own this coin as I'm still on the look out for bargains thus I do not have photos for it.

Specifications:

1 oz 99.9% fineness

Face Value - 10 Yuan

Mintage - 66,000

Price Range (shipped): S$160 - 180

 

Finally bought the coin on 9 July 2013. Price was nearly US$200.
