| Additional information |
The 2016 lunar series monkey issue from the Perth Mint marks the Year of the Monkey in the traditional Chinese zodiac cycle, a market the Mint has cultivated aggressively since launching its Lunar Series I in 1996. At 311.035 grams — exactly ten troy ounces — this denomination sits at the top of the standard bullion weight range before the Mint moves into the kilogram and multi-kilo territory reserved for its flagship releases. Chinese collector demand for monkey-year issues is historically among the strongest in the twelve-year cycle, a pattern documented across multiple bullion series globally.
