The obverse of all 2016 Australian Gold Lunar Monkey King coins has the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Captured in right-profile relief, this portrait has been in use since 1998 when it was created by Ian Rank-Broadley for use on all commonwealth coins as the fourth-generation image of Her Majesty. Located in Perth, Western Australia, the Perth Mint stands today as the oldest operating facility in the nation. It was originally part of the Royal Mint system established by the British Empire, but today operates independently of the newer Royal Australian Mint system. All Perth Mint coins enjoy legal tender status under the Currency Act of 1965.
