2016 is the Chinese Year of the Monkey. Monkey is the cleverest Chinese zodiac animal. In Chinese culture, the energetic monkey has long been regarded as a symbol for longevity. It also symbolizes success and wealth, as the Chinese pronunciation of “monkey”（“猴”）is the same as that of the dignified official title “marquis”（“侯”）. To celebrate this lucky Year of the Monkey, the famous Royal Mint has proudly issued the “Hong Kong Year of the Monkey Gold Proof Medals” in limited worldwide edition! Sequels to the first yellow gold lunar medal series of the HKSAR, these medals shine with the intrinsic nobleness and splendour of pure yellow gold!
