Australia 50 cents Lunar Calendar series I Year of the Monkey silver coin 2004

The Australia 50 Cents Year of the Monkey Lunar Series I 2004 Silver Coin is a fascinating piece from the Perth Mint’s prestigious Lunar Calendar program. Dedicated to the Year of the Monkey, it honors the intelligence, playfulness, and adaptability of this zodiac animal. On the reverse, the coin displays a monkey seated on a tree branch, its long tail hanging down elegantly, while leaves and floral ornaments enhance the composition. The detailed engraving captures the alert expression and agility of the animal. Surrounding the design are decorative scrolls, the year 2004, the Chinese character for “Monkey,” and the inscription 1/2 oz .999 Silver. On the obverse appears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, framed by inscriptions ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 50 CENTS. This issue from Lunar Series I has become highly desirable among collectors for its limited mintage, cultural symbolism, and artistic quality. A meaningful addition to any collection of silver coins and zodiac-themed numismatics.
