The 2016 Australia 1/2 oz Silver Lunar Monkey BU continues Perth Mint’s acclaimed Lunar Series II with a charming and symbolic Year of the Monkey design. This fractional-size coin offers an affordable entry into the Lunar program while still delivering the artistry and minting quality collectors expect from Perth Mint.
Struck from .999 fine silver, each coin arrives in a protective capsule. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with inscriptions for weight, purity, denomination and year.
The reverse depicts an adult monkey and a baby monkey holding a peach — a powerful symbol of longevity and immortality in Chinese culture. The design is completed with the Chinese character for “monkey,” the inscription “Year of the Monkey”, and Perth Mint’s traditional “P” mint mark.
Those born in the Year of the Monkey — 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016 — are said to be intelligent, optimistic, quick-witted and ambitious. This release is a meaningful gift and a beautiful portfolio addition for collectors aligned with the Monkey zodiac sign.
