Historical Context: Issued in 2016, this 100 Dollar gold coin features Queen Elizabeth II's fourth effigy by Ian Rank-Broadley, representing the later period of her extensive reign. Australia, a Commonwealth realm, consistently depicted its monarch. This piece is a significant component of the Perth Mint's highly successful Australian Lunar Series II, celebrating the Chinese zodiac. The "Year of the Monkey" theme appeals to a global market for bullion investment and cultural commemoration.
Artistry: The obverse displays Ian Rank-Broadley's mature portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, characterized by realistic detail and regal bearing. The reverse, designed by Perth Mint artist Ing Ing Jong, features a captivating monkey perched on a tree branch. The artistry reflects a modern, naturalistic style, emphasizing intricate fur textures and expressive facial features, harmoniously blending Western minting excellence with Eastern cultural symbolism.
Technical/Grading: Struck in 31.1035 grams of .9999 fine gold, this bullion coin exemplifies exceptional purity. Key high-points for grading include the definition of the Queen's hair and crown on the obverse, and the intricate fur, eyes, and digits of the monkey on the reverse. A strong strike is typical, ensuring sharp details across the design elements. Collectors seek examples with minimal bag marks and excellent luster, indicative of high-quality bullion production.
