Already in its third year, the Magnificent Life collection featured a brilliant male peacock in 2015 followed by the delicate wasp spider in 2016.

The collection’s signature concave reverse side is this year adorned by a majestic cobra spreading its hood in defense.The smartminting© relief with selective gloss and coloring complements the cupped proof surface to bring the snake to life.

Around 30 species of cobra are found from South Africa to South East Asia. They poses a very potent neurotoxic venom that some species, so-called spitting cobras, are even able spray at the eyes of an attacker.
