| Reverse description | Three primates — representing the proverbial 'Three Wise Monkeys' — are depicted seated in a row on a horizontal bar, rendered in finely detailed high relief. The first monkey covers its eyes ('see no evil'), the central monkey covers its ears ('hear no evil'), and the third covers its mouth ('speak no evil'). The legend 'THREE WISE MONKEYS' is inscribed vertically along the right margin in raised Latin lettering, with the date '2014' below it. The specifications '0.5g FINE GOLD .9999' appear in the lower left field, attesting to the coin's gold content and purity. |
