Lunar II Gold Coins
With the Lunar II coin series, the Perth Mint has been continuing the success of its predecessor, Lunar I, since 2008. Up until 2019, a total of twelve zodiac signs from the Chinese moon calendar, the so-called lunar calendar, can be seen in alternation on the motif side of the coins along with the name of the edition. The gold coins are made of high-quality 999.9 fine gold in eight different denominations from 1/20 oz up to 1 kg. In addition to the respective gold editions, a silver coin is issued each year with the same title but not with the same motif.
Lunar Monkey 1/10 oz Gold 2016 - Design and motif
As is also the case in Western astrology, in Chinese Buddhist culture each zodiac sign is associated with certain properties that influence the fate of humans. Unlike European astrology, however, the period for which each zodiac sign of the lunar calendar applies is twelve months, so that an animal influences fate for an entire year and also gives its name to the year. According to the lunar calendar, the year of the monkey begins in 2016 and and so it is this monkey that is found on the motif side of the coins in the current Lunar II series for this year of issue.
