| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a stylized monkey rendered in fine relief, grasping a heavenly peach, a traditional symbol of longevity and good fortune in Chinese culture. Scattered peach blossoms in full bloom surround the figure, creating an ornate decorative composition across the field. The design is executed in a colorized finish, enhancing the visual detail of the motif. Inscriptions in Latin script reading '100 PATACAS 2016 MACAU, CHINA' appear within the legend. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed high-relief depiction of the Holy House of Mercy (Santa Casa da Misericórdia), a landmark neoclassical building in Macau, occupies the central field. The architectural facade is rendered with precise detail, including columns, arched windows, and a pediment, set against a finely reeded or textured ground evoking a cobblestone plaza. The surrounding legend reads 'HOLY HOUSE OF MERCY' in Latin script to the left, the Chinese characters '仁慈堂大樓' across the upper field, and 'SANTA CASA DA MISERICÓRDIA' in Latin script to the right. The composition reflects Macau's Portuguese colonial architectural heritage. |

Macau's lunar series issues are struck under the Monetary Authority of Macao, which has operated independently from mainland Chinese monetary institutions since the 1999 handover from Portugal. The 2016 Monkey issue falls within the fifth cycle of the Chinese zodiac series — a program that has run long enough that early-cycle counterparts in comparable formats now trade at substantial premiums over their later iterations.
The five-ounce format was adopted to satisfy collector demand for higher-silver-content pieces without crossing into the unwieldy ten-ounce category. Mintages on these larger Macanese lunar pieces are tightly controlled and rarely disclosed in full by the issuing authority.
