Celebrating the Year of the Monkey, this four-coin set is a prestigious and exceptionally limited offering from The Perth Mint.
The birth dates for people ruled by the Chinese Lunar monkey include 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 and 2016. Those born under the influence of this sign are said to be intelligent, quick-witted, optimistic, ambitious, and adventurous.
Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of the Cook Islands, each rectangle coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 3,000 of the 2016 Year of the Monkey 1oz Silver Rectangle Four-Coin Set.
The reverse of each coin celebrates the 2016 Year of the Monkey with a design to showcase one of four different coloured monkeys. The Chinese character for ‘monkey’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Monkey’ also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
The obverse of each coin depicts the Raphael Maklouf effigy Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2016 year-date, and the monetary denomination.
Accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, the four-coin set is housed in a contemporary black framed clear display case, allowing you to see both the reverse and obverse of each coin, and is packaged in an illustrated shipper.
