Those born under the sign of the monkey are said to be intelligent, confident, and fun-loving, just like the animals themselves.On the reverse side of each 2016 2 oz Australian Gold Monkey coin is the latest design for the Year of the Monkey. Created by artist Ing Ing Jong, the images on the reverse of gold coins differ from its Silver Year of the Monkey counterpart, and include a solitary monkey sitting on a tree branch in a peach tree.The obverse image is that of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majestys right-profile portrait was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, and is featured in the center of the obverse. Surrounding the Queen are engravings that read Elizabeth II, Australia, the coins weight, purity, and metal content, as well as its year of minting and face value.Perth Mint was founded in 1898 as the final of three British Royal Mint facilities in Australia. The facility remained in British control until 1970 when it was passed on to the state government in Western Australia.JM Bullion welcomes any questions you might have about the latest Lunar Series II coins.
