1 Oz Australian Lunar II Year of the Monkey 2016 Gold Coin

Investment gold coin 1 Oz (31.1 g) from the popular Australian Lunar II series with the Year of the Monkey 2016 motif. It is struck from pure gold with a fineness of 999.9/1000 Au by the renowned The Perth Mint and carries a face value of 100 AUD (legal tender in Australia). It combines the investment value of gold with the Chinese zodiac motif.

Why choose the Year of the Monkey 2016 from the Australian Lunar series

The Australian Lunar series changes its motif every year according to the Chinese zodiac, which makes it popular with investors and collectors alike. The Year of the Monkey 2016 belongs to the second series (Lunar II). Lunar gold coins have a limited mintage in the ounce format, which can create a collector premium over the pure gold value for some years.

The coin is new and uncirculated, supplied in a protective plastic capsule that preserves its condition and later tradability.
