Celebrate the Year of the Monkey with the Perth Mint’s 2016 10 oz Silver Year of the Monkey Coin from Provident Metals. Each coin consists of ten troy ounces of .999 fine silver, and qualifies for a Precious Metals IRA. This 10 oz Silver Coin is one of seven coin sizes available in the Perth Mint Lunar Series II.

The reverse is a charming tribute to the Year of the Monkey, portraying two primates resting on a tree branch on the 10 oz silver coin. An adult monkey gazes upon a younger monkey as it holds a peach in its hands – peaches are native to China and represent long life. The Chinese symbol for “monkey” is inscribed above the scene while “Year of the Monkey” is inscribed beneath.

Officially beginning on Feb, 8, 2016, the Year of the Monkey occurs every 12 years. People born in 1920 and every 12th year after thought to be intelligent, witty, optimistic, and ambitious. Lucky numbers for those born during the year of the monkey are four and nine, and lucky colors are white, gold, and blue.

An elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning British Monarch, graces the obverse. “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA” and “2016” are inscribed alongside the coin’s weight, metal purity and legal tender value.

Perth Mint 2016 10 oz Year of the Monkey Coins are backed by the government and hold a legal tender of $10.
