| Reverse description | A stylised monkey is depicted in dynamic posture at centre, crouching and reaching forward to hold a peach, symbolising good fortune and longevity in Chinese tradition. A floral motif decorates the monkey's back. The design is framed by a rectangular grid pattern composed of repeated Chinese characters '申' (the cyclical character for the Monkey year) filling the background on either side of a cross-shaped divider. The denomination '$2' appears in the upper right field, while the Chinese cyclical year characters '丙申' are inscribed at the base, identifying the year of the Fire Monkey. |
