| Reverse description | A stylised, cartoonish monkey is depicted hanging from a leafy branch with both hands, its body facing the viewer with a broad smile. Below the monkey, a decorative treasure chest or box bears the Chinese character 福 (fu), symbolising prosperity and good fortune. The denomination $30 appears in the left field, while the Perth Mint's P mintmark is positioned to the right of the central design. Along the upper rim, the inscriptions 1/5oz 9999 GOLD confirm the coin's gold content and purity. The design is rendered in proof finish, combining traditional Chinese lunar iconography with a modern illustrative style. |
