| Reverse description | Central device features a stylised monkey rendered in a decorative East Asian folkloric manner, seated within an ornate cartouche formed by sinuous cloud and scroll motifs in raised relief against a deeply frosted proof field. The monkey is depicted facing forward with highly detailed swirling fur patterns, prominent round eyes, and clasped forepaws, conveying a playful character emblematic of the Chinese zodiac sign. An elaborate curvilinear frame encloses the central design, terminating in double scroll flourishes at the base. The upper border carries the arc legend YEAR OF THE MONKEY in raised Latin capitals, while the lower field bears the denomination NU.1000 above the purity inscription 1/4 OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD, all flanked by dot separators. |
