The Proof Australian Lunar Monkey Gold Coin release was one of three proof options in the 2016 Lunar Series II collection and part of a broad range of silver and gold bullion coins issued that year. The Perth Mints Lunar Series II collection was exceptionally popular with investors and collectors, offering distinctive designs to separate the silver and gold releases, with low-mintage collectible proofs offered in each year. Right now, you can buy the 2016 Proof Australian Lunar Monkey 1 oz Gold Coin online in perfect condition at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Your purchase of the 2016 Proof Australian Lunar Monkey 1 oz Gold Coin includes a perfect certification from the PCGS. Coins in PR70 condition exhibit full, original mint luster and have no detracting flaws of any kind present on the design elements or surface areas. Included with the coin is a DCAM label from the PCGS. This denotes the deep-cameo appearance of the coins, which means the designs are strong and frosted, while the background fields are deeply-mirrored and clear.
Obverse
The obverse face of 2016 Proof Australian Lunar Monkey Gold Coins includes a right-profile bust of Queen Elizabeth II. The longest-reigning monarch in British history, Elizabeth II is shown here in a design from Ian Rank-Broadley wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on her head.
Reverse
On the reverse side of 2016 Proof Australian Lunar Monkey 1 oz Gold Coins is the image of an adult monkey. This lone monkey sits on the branch of a peach tree. The peach tree is symbolic of longevity and immortality. The Year of the Monkey marks the birth year for those who are considered intelligent, optimistic, ambitious, and quick-witted.
History
The 2016 Australian Lunar Monkey release was the ninth of the Lunar Series II collection. The series featured various weights in both silver and gold, but only three proof gold options were offered. These 1 oz gold coins were accompanied by 1/4 and 1/10 oz coins. All three were also available together in a three-coin collector set.
