| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly sculptural, ultra-high relief three-dimensional depiction of a monkey seated upright and grasping a rounded stone tablet engraved with the Chinese character for monkey (猴). The figure is rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail, capturing the texture of the animal's fur and the expressiveness of its face. The monkey is surrounded by foliage, fruits, and a recumbent fish, all resting upon a decorated circular base featuring a border of repeating spiral motifs and ornamental cut-out designs. The legend YEAR OF THE MONKEY 2016 appears within the design, referencing the Chinese lunar calendar. |
