The Year of the Monkey issue was part of Perth's Lunar Series I, which ran from 1996 through 2007 and established the mint's bullion program as a serious competitor to the Britannia and Maple Leaf. The Monkey is among the more coveted strikes in that series — mintage was capped at 300 pieces globally, a figure Perth held to without exception.
At 10 troy ounces of .9999 fine gold, this is one of the heaviest single coins Perth produced in the Lunar I run.
