The Perth Mint in Australia is an innovator in coin design, and its 1996 Lunar Series I launch generated interest for Zodiac-inspired coins. Fast forward to the 21st century and the Perth Mint continues to innovate with its Lunar Series II coins. The Australian Gold Monkey coin is available in bullion and proof, and now JM Bullion offers a 2016 1/10 oz Proof Colorized Australian Gold Monkey for purchase.
Coin Highlights:
Given the popularity of Lunar Series I coins, the Perth Mint has dramatically expanded its Lunar Series II coins in recent years. In addition to gold and silver bullion versions, the coins are also produced in proof, with a special limited-edition colorized proof struck for each coin.
The 2016 1/10 oz Proof Colorized Australian Gold Monkey Coin features a unique image from its silver counterpart, and has brilliant colors added into the design to enhance its collectability and visual appeal.
On the reverse side of the coin is the 2016 Year of the Monkey design, with the engravings of the Chinese symbol for monkey and the phrase “Year of the Monkey” included. Rather than a complete gold finish, the monkey has been colorized with natural hues to create a stark contrast between the coin’s background and the design set.
The obverse bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II created by Ian Rank-Broadley, with no colorization added. Australia’s Perth Mint is the oldest operating facility in the country. Founded in 1898, it was the final of three British Royal Mint facilities in what was then colonial Australia.
