The Perth Mint was the birthplace of Lunar Series coins, which are now produced by mints around the globe. There’s nothing better than the original, unless it is a limited-edition proof coin with brilliant colors and natural hues added to the design. Right now, JM Bullion has the 2016 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Gold Monkey Coin available for purchase.
Coin Highlights:
The all-new Year of the Monkey coin is the 9th animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Perth Mint’s Lunar Series II coins have featured greater diversity than the original Lunar Series I coins, with bullion, proof, and colorized versions available. These limited-edition colorized proofs add value and demand to an already popular coin program.
On the reverse face of the 2016 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Gold Monkey coin is the unique Year of the Monkey design. Similar to the silver coin’s design, the image includes a monkey in a peach tree with a single piece of fruit hanging from the branch behind its head. The image of the monkey has been enhanced with natural colors to bring the creature to life.
The obverse face of all 2016 Australian Gold Monkey coins features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this image has actually been replaced on other coins from mints in the Commonwealth nations with a new fifth-generation image of Her Majesty. In the interest of continuity of design, the Perth Mint opted to keep the fourth-generation image on all Lunar Series II coins.
If you have any questions about these coins, don’t hesitate to contact JM Bullion. Our associates are available at 800-276-6508, online using our live web chat, or by submitting questions via email.
