  • Coins offered in protective plastic capsules!
  • 9th release in the Lunar Series II collection!
  • Features a special Lion Privy!
  • Limited mintage of 30,000 coins!
  • Sold out originally through the mint!

  • Obverse presents Queen Elizabeth II.
  • Reverse displays two monkeys with a lion privy mark.

These 2016 Australian Lunar Monkey Lion Privy 1 oz Silver Coins are secured in protective flips. Perth Mint originally struck only 30,000 coins, and the mintage sold out quickly.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2016 Australian Lunar Monkey Lion Privy Silver Coin shows Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. This portrait, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, includes the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The inscriptions read ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 1 OZ 999 SILVER, 2016, and 1 DOLLAR.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2016 Lunar Monkey Lion Privy 1 oz Silver Coin, two monkeys are shown sitting on a tree branch. One monkey is holding a peach, which stands for longevity and immortality in traditional symbolism. The lion privy mark on this side shows a male lion with a full mane. Inscriptions here read YEAR OF THE MONKEY, the Chinese symbol for the monkey, and the P mint mark.

History

According to the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Monkey happens every twelve years and stands for intelligence, wit, and playful behavior. People born under the Monkey sign are believed to be clever, talented, and creative problem solvers. The Monkey is the ninth animal in the 12-year cycle, with recent years including 1980, 1992, 2004, and 2016. Each Monkey year is also connected to one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water), adding even more meaning to individual personalities.
