100 Patacas Year of the Monkey

Macao's lunar series patacas were issued under the Monetary Authority following the 1999 handover to China, with the territory operating under "one country, two systems" — meaning these coins carry a distinct Macanese identity that Beijing had no direct hand in designing. The 2004 Monkey issue falls in the middle of the post-handover series, a period when the Authority was still establishing collector confidence in Macanese numismatic products against the backdrop of the territory's casino-driven economic transformation.

KM#130 is a standard proof-issue piece with no notable die varieties on record.
