The Perth Mint is delighted to release the 2016 Australian Silver Lunar Bullion Coin Program featuring the Year of the Monkey, the ninth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.  In Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Monkey - 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 and 2016 are regarded as intelligent, quick-witted, optimistic, ambitious, and adventurous.

Each coin’s reverse depicts an adult monkey and a baby monkey sitting in a peach tree. The baby is holding a peach, which is symbolic of longevity and immortality. The Chinese character for ‘monkey’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Monkey’ also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

Meticulously struck from 99.9% pure silver in bullion quality, the coins are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2016 year-date and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse of each coin.

A maximum of 150 10 kilo coins will also be produced on a mint-to-order basis. Similarly, production will close at the end of 2016, when the coin's mintage will be declared.

Each bullion coin is presented in protective acrylic capsules.
