Description of the 2016 Year of the Monkey 1 oz silver coin

The Perth Mint's Lunar coin series has been popular since its first release, and this 2016 edition is no exception. With their unique designs crafted from 999 fine silver, these silver Lunar coins attract the attention of both investors and collectors.

Appearance of the 2016 Year of the Monkey 1 oz silver coin

The reverse shows an adult monkey holding a peach, a symbol of longevity and immortality. It is accompanied by a small monkey. The design also features the Chinese character for monkey and the inscription: Year of the Monkey, as well as the traditional Perth Mint mark – the letter P. The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by the date, face value, weight, and silver fineness.

Historical overview

Series I of the lunar coins ended in 2007, and Series II began in 2008. These issues are hugely popular around the world, and coins in all sizes sell out quickly every year. 

This lunar series of coins, produced by the Perth Mint, refers to the 12 animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac calendar. In Chinese astrology, each year in the 12-year cycle is ruled by a different zodiac sign. You are a Monkey if you were born in 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, and every 12 years before that.

The Year of the Monkey in the Chinese calendar is a time full of diverse opportunities and endless energy. It is a time when the intelligence, ingenuity, and cleverness of the monkey become a source of inspiration for everyone. People born in this year are often described as creative, quick-witted, and quick to act. In Chinese culture, the monkey is a symbol of fun, humor, and inventiveness. During this special year, these qualities are celebrated through a variety of festivals, parades, and celebrations.
