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.



Lunar Monkey 1/20 oz Gold 2016 as an investment and collectors coin

With the Lunar Monkey 1/20 oz Gold 2016, you are acquiring a beautiful coin, which is not only of great interest to collectors but also to investors. Lunar I and Lunar II series coins are among the most popular gold coins in the world and are therefore traded internationally. Because of the small denomination of 1/20 oz gold, it is possible for investors to invest smaller amounts or to purchase larger numbers of units and if necessary to sell in small quantities. The Lunar Monkey 1/20 oz Gold 2016 is not a limited edition. The Lunar Monkey 1/20 oz Gold 2016 coins are delivered individually in a plastic capsule or sealed in rolls of 20 coins. Lunar coins in small denominations are also popular gifts for birthdays with the appropriate year. Those born in 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1980, 1982, 2004 and of course new arrivals in 2016 will be delighted with the Lunar Monkey 1/20 oz Gold 2016.
