| Reverse description | A finely detailed rendering of a monkey, depicted in profile walking to the left with its long tail curving upward behind it, occupies the central field against a mirror-proof background. The denomination 500 DOLLARS arcs prominently along the upper legend, flanked by a beaded inner border. Two Chinese cyclical characters 壬申 (designating the sexagenary year of the Monkey) appear in the upper central field above the animal. The inscription HALF OUNCE FINE GOLD is positioned along the lower border, attesting to the coin's gold content, with the entire design enclosed within a beaded rim. |
