{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Perth Mints Lunar Series II silver program ran from 2008 to 2019, with a new animal from the Chinese Lunar Calendar featured each year. During select years, Perth Mint struck some coins with exclusive privy marks to create limited collectible options. Right now, 2016 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Monkey Lion Privy Coins are available to order through BGASC.
Highlights:
These 2016 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Monkey Lion Privy Coins are offered in protective flips. The Perth Mint produced only 30,000 of these coins, and the full mintage sold out after release.
Obverse
The obverse of 2016 1 oz Silver Lunar Monkey Lion Privy Coins displays Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley and captures the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
Reverse
The reverse of 2016 Australian Silver Lunar Monkey Lion Privy Coins features two monkeys seated on a tree branch. One monkey is holding a peach, representing a traditional symbol of longevity and immortality. Also shown on this side is the lion privy mark, depicting a male lion with a flowing mane.
History
The Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac appears once every twelve years, symbolizing cleverness, resourcefulness, and energy. Those born during a Monkey year are often quick-witted, creative, and skilled at problem-solving. The Monkey is the ninth animal in the zodiac order, with recent Monkey years being 1980, 1992, 2004, and 2016. Each Monkey year also connects to one of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water), giving even more personality to those born in different Monkey years.
