Coins in this release schedule feature new designs on the reverse of each coin, with colorized images representing a different animal found in specific regions of the world.

King Cobras get their name from the set of 11 scales seen on the back of their heads. These 11 scales combine to form an image that looks much like a crown. The beautiful but fearsome snakes can grow up to 24 feet in length. They typically are found inhabiting the jungles of Asia and India, stretching from southeastern China across the Malay Peninsula and into the Philippine Islands.
