100 Dollars Year of the Monkey

Singapore's Lunar Series gold issues are struck in .9999 fineness rather than the more common .999, a specification the Monetary Authority adopted to align with investor demand in mainland Chinese markets, where four-nines purity carries significant commercial premium. The 2016 Monkey year falls in the ninth cycle of the twelve-year lunar calendar since Singapore began issuing commemorative lunar coinage, and mintages for these pieces have historically been tightly controlled to sustain secondary-market premiums.
