| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field, set against a black enamelled background, features a stylised tattoo-art depiction of a monkey skull rendered in a bold, graphic manner with strong contrasts. The legend 'Tattoo 猴 Art' is inscribed along the upper border in a decorative Gothic-style typeface interspersed with the Chinese character for monkey, while the inscription 'Year of the Monkey' curves along the lower border in matching script. The date '2016' appears to the right and the fineness specification '1 oz .999 SILVER' to the left, both within the beaded inner border that frames the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghana's "Tattoo-Art" series applied genuine tattoo ink beneath lacquer directly onto the coin's surface — a finishing technique more common to novelty issues from private mints than sovereign programs, and one that makes long-term preservation genuinely unpredictable. The Bank of Ghana authorized several such issues through European distributors around 2016, targeting the collector market rather than any domestic monetary function.
The Monkey corresponds to 2016 in the Chinese lunar calendar. Ghana has no cultural connection to that calendar, making this a purely commercial issue aimed at Asian and international collector demand.
