Perth Mint - Ever since we launched the Australian Lunar coin series back in 1996, it has been traditional for The
Perth Mint to wish customers and friends Gong Xi Fa Cai.
This year, Chinese and other Asian communities throughout the world welcome back the Monkey. Laden with significance, the ninth animal of the ancient lunar calendar is said to bestow intelligence, wisdom, optimism, ambition and a sense of adventure on those born under its influence.
Befitting the significance of the monkey in Chinese folklore, The
Perth Mint has released an extensive coin program marking the Chinese New Year. For your ease, here we present a complete guide to the wide-ranging choice of coins from which you can choose a personal keepsake, or a fitting gift for anyone born under the sign of the Monkey in either of these years - 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 and 2016.
