China Macau 100 patacas Monkey Year Lunar Calendar PR69 PCGS silver coin 1992

Issued in 1992, this Macau 100 Patacas silver coin is part of the celebrated Lunar Calendar series and honors the Year of the Monkey — a symbol of intelligence, agility, curiosity, and creativity in Chinese tradition. Struck in silver with outstanding Proof quality and certified PR69 DCAM by PCGS, this coin represents an exceptional combination of artistic detail, cultural symbolism, and top-tier preservation.

The obverse depicts a finely engraved monkey seated in a natural pose, with long arms resting near its legs and a calm yet alert expression. The texture of the fur is rendered with remarkable precision, creating a striking contrast against the deep mirror-like fields. Chinese characters flank the central figure, while stars, the denomination “100 PATACAS,” and a sharp reeded border complete the balanced composition.

The reverse showcases the historic coat of arms of Macau, crowned and supported by two winged angels holding symbolic objects. At the center is a detailed shield with traditional Portuguese heraldic elements, including smaller shields and decorative motifs. Flowing banners beneath carry Portuguese inscriptions, while “MACAU” arches above and the date “1992” appears below. A ring of stars frames the entire design.

Struck as part of Macau’s Lunar Zodiac program, this coin appeals to collectors of zodiac themes, Asian culture, and certified world silver coinage. An impressive and meaningful addition to any refined collection.
