All 2004 Australian Lunar Monkey 1/2 oz Silver Coins are housed in plastic capsules for protection. Perth Mint produced a total of 52,792 of these coins in 2004. This coin marks the sixth release in the Lunar Series I silver collection. While the gold coins in Lunar Series I started in 1996, the silver series began three years later.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2004 Australian Lunar Monkey Silver Coin displays Ian Rank-Broadleys effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait, introduced in 1998, was used on coins across the Commonwealth until at least 2015. It continued to appear on Perth Mint’s Lunar Series coins until 2019. Inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 50 CENTS.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2004 Lunar Monkey 1/2 oz Silver Coin features Sarah Andersons design for the Year of the Monkey. The coin showcases a monkey perched on a tree branch, with foliage encircling the design’s edges. Inscriptions read 2004, 1/2 OZ 999 SILVER, and the Chinese emblem for the monkey.

History

In the Chinese calendar, the Monkey year is associated with the element of Metal. This combination is thought to bring good fortune in areas related to communication, travel, and intellectual pursuits. However, it can also lead to restlessness and a tendency towards overconfidence.
