2016 Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Monkey BU (RAM)
The 2016 Australian Lunar series celebrates the Year of the Monkey with a stunning display of artistry and precision. Struck in one troy ounce of highly refined 0.9999 fine gold, this modern legal tender coin is backed by the Australian government, carrying a face value of one dollar. The obverse side presents the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. Encircling the royal portrait is an intricate border that depicts all twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac alongside the changing phases of the moon, creating a visual calendar of celestial and earthly cycles. On the reverse, a lively monkey is depicted climbing through the branches of a blossoming tree. This central image is accompanied by the traditional Chinese character representing the monkey, along with the 2016 issue date, the weight of one ounce, and the exceptional 0.9999 gold purity.
