The Year of the Monkey

The Chinese Zodiac operates on a twelve-year cycle, with each year represented by a unique animal and its associated personality traits. Individuals born in the Year of the Monkey (including 2016) are believed to be naturally quick-witted, intelligent, and adept at solving complex problems with ease. These characteristics are inspired by the resilient snub-nosed monkey, known for its remarkable adaptations to survive in the challenging Qin Ling Mountains of central China.

This 2016 Year of the Monkey coin is a perfect addition for collectors of Australian coinage and those with an interest in the Chinese Zodiac.
