| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed, three-dimensional sculptural rendering of the façade of the Holy House of Mercy (Santa Casa da Misericórdia) in Macau, a neoclassical colonial building of significant historical importance. The architectural relief faithfully reproduces the building's colonnaded portico, arched windows, pedimented roofline, and ornate decorative elements, with a finely engraved cobblestone forecourt occupying the lower field. The legend arcs around the upper periphery in Latin script reading 'HOLY HOUSE OF MERCY', followed by the Chinese characters '仁慈堂大樓', and continuing with 'SANTA CASA DA MISERICÓRDIA' along the right arc. The design showcases exceptional depth and sculptural quality characteristic of modern proof coinage. |

Macau's lunar series coins are issued under the Monetary Authority rather than struck by a local facility — production is contracted to external mints, and the 2016 monkey issue is no exception. The Chinese zodiac cycle had particular commercial weight this year: the Year of the Monkey carries strong associative currency in southern Chinese folk tradition, and Macau's gaming and tourism economy amplifies collector demand for regionally resonant issues far beyond what comparable European territories would see.
Mintage for these MSAR lunar pieces is tightly controlled and sells out quickly through official channels.
