Issued by the Monetary Authority of Macao, this piece belongs to the long-running lunar series that the territory has produced in various formats since the 1970s — a program that predates the 1999 handover to China and has continued uninterrupted under the SAR government. The 155.52g specification places it in the 5 oz category, a weight that became increasingly standard for high-denomination Asian lunar issues in the 2010s as collector demand shifted toward larger-format silver.
