Description
This $15 sterling silver coin contains just over one ounce of pure silver and is part of a popular Chinese Lunar 12 year series. While most of these coins were issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in a simple case, this is the premium Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Post joint set, which features an artistic full colour presentation and the addition of special issue Year of the Monkey postage stamps.
Coin Design
The center of the coin features an octagonal 24 karat gold plated cameo with a stylized image of a Monkey, one of the symbols of Chinese astrology based on the lunar calendar. Surrounding the cameo are all 12 of the animal symbols in the lunar calendar.
Year of the Monkey
You are a "Monkey" if you were born in 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, or 2016.
The Monkey personality is supremely intelligent and charismatic, with boundless agility. They are highly social; the ultimate inventor, motivator and schemer. Even when you realize the Monkey has tricked you, your fondness and admiration will endure. The Monkey is witty and charming; they will win your heart and keep it forever!
