Australia 1 dollar Year of the Monkey MS69 PCGS silver coin 2004

The 2004 Australia 1 Dollar “Year of the Monkey” silver coin is part of the prestigious Lunar Calendar Series I issued by the Perth Mint. Struck in pure silver and graded MS69 by PCGS, this collectible coin beautifully celebrates the Year of the Monkey, one of the most charismatic animals of the Chinese zodiac.

On the reverse, the design features a finely detailed monkey sitting on a branch, surrounded by delicate foliage. The animal is portrayed with remarkable precision, its long tail curling gracefully along the edge. Around the monkey, traditional Chinese-inspired floral ornaments add refinement, while the inscriptions include the year “2004,” the Chinese character for “Monkey,” and “1 OZ 999 SILVER.” The obverse presents the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the denomination “1 DOLLAR.”

The Year of the Monkey symbolizes intelligence, adaptability, and playfulness, making this coin a meaningful talisman as well as a numismatic treasure. Its limited mintage and near-perfect certification make it a valuable addition to any collection of lunar series or world silver coins.
