Beschrijving keerzijde An adult monkey rendered in high relief, seated upon a branch of a flowering peach tree — a traditional symbol of longevity and good fortune in Chinese culture. The Chinese character 猴 (monkey) appears prominently in the field. The inscription YEAR OF THE MONKEY arcs along the lower periphery in Latin script, with the Perth Mint's P mintmark also present. The design celebrates the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Monkey in a richly detailed, sculptural composition.

Aanvullende informatie

Australia's lunar series coins are struck by the Perth Mint under its own authority rather than as Royal Australian Mint issues, a distinction that matters for collectors tracking the two parallel Australian coinage programs. The 2016 Year of the Monkey marks the second full cycle of the Perth lunar series, which began in 2008 — the first cycle having run from 1996 through 2007.

High relief strikings of this type require multiple hammer blows from carefully prepared dies, limiting production runs considerably. The 27.3 mm diameter is notably compact for a one-troy-ounce gold proof, a deliberate choice to achieve the pronounced relief depth.
