The Mint says about this coin:

Animals don’t always have to be massive in size to strike fear in the hearts of mankind. Snakes are among the most fearsome creatures on the planet, and it isn’t their size or frightening teeth that make them scary. The deadly venom contained within is the primary threat, and none is feared like the King Cobra.
