Description:

5 Gram Tibetan Silver "Year of the Snake" Ingot - Silver Plated Collector Piece

5 gram Tibetan silver ingot. Year of the Snake Chinese zodiac design. Clear acrylic capsule. Uncirculated condition.



Description

The Snake is one of the most striking entries in the Chinese zodiac, associated with wisdom and elegance, and this 5 gram ingot captures it well. The obverse features a raised relief of a coiled snake with tongue extended, integrated with a "Five Gram" denomination in a banknote-style layout. "Tibetan Silver" and "Bullion" run across the top banner, with "Year of the Snake" anchoring the base. Design detail is sharp throughout and the ingot is housed in a clear protective acrylic capsule. A neat display piece for zodiac collectors or anyone with a connection to the Year of the Snake.



Important: Tibetan silver is not solid silver. It is a base metal alloy, typically copper with traces of tin or nickel and a small percentage of pure silver, and carries a silver-coloured appearance. This is a decorative collector piece, not a precious metal investment.
