2016 Australia 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Monkey BU
2016 Australia 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Monkey BU
The year 2016 marked a celebration of the Chinese zodiac on this five dollar Australian coin. Struck from 0.0500 troy ounces of highly refined 0.9999 fine gold, this small treasure showcases the detailed craftsmanship of the Perth Mint, indicated by the subtle 'P' mint mark. It represents a fascinating fusion of cultural tradition and modern minting excellence. On the reverse side, an adult monkey is depicted resting on the branch of a peach tree. This charming scene is accompanied by the Chinese character representing the monkey, alongside the English inscription 'Year of the Monkey'. The obverse features the familiar effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by the inscriptions detailing the sovereign's name, the issuing country, the year 2016, the face value of 5 dollars, and the weight and purity of the gold content.
