Congo 1000 francs Lunar Year of the Monkey Lucky PR69 PCGS silver coin 2016

The Congo 1000 Francs silver coin issued in 2016 is dedicated to the Lunar Calendar Year of the Monkey, a symbol of intelligence, agility, curiosity, and good fortune in Eastern astrology. Struck in proof quality silver and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, this colorized commemorative coin combines traditional zodiac symbolism with a playful and highly decorative design.

The reverse features a stylized monkey in polished silver, shown in a lively pose at the center of a four-leaf clover composed of richly textured green leaves. The clover is a universal emblem of luck and prosperity, reinforcing the coin’s positive message. A small red ladybug appears on one of the leaves, symbolizing happiness and good fortune. Along the upper rim is the inscription “YEAR OF THE MONKEY,” while the year “2016” is placed to the right. At the lower edge, the phrase “GOOD LUCK!” completes the cheerful and optimistic theme. The contrast between mirror-like fields, frosted relief, and vivid green color creates strong visual appeal.

The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo, supported by two elephants with a central shield and crown. Below runs the national motto “Unité • Travail • Progrès,” along with the denomination “1000 FRANCS CFA.” The deep proof finish emphasizes the sharp details and elegant surfaces.

This high-grade certified lunar silver coin is an excellent choice for collectors of zodiac themes, lucky symbols, and modern world commemoratives.
