| Additional information |
Australia's lunar series has been struck continuously since 1996, making the 2016 Monkey the fifth animal in the second full cycle. Perth Mint limits these issues by year, and once the window closes, production stops — no restrikes, a policy that meaningfully distinguishes them from many sovereign bullion programs that quietly reopen dies.
The Monkey holds particular commercial weight in mainland Chinese and diaspora markets, historically driving stronger secondary-market premiums for Monkey-year issues than most other animals in the twelve-year rotation.
