2004-P Australia Lunar Series I Year of the Monkey 2 oz .999 Silver Colorized BU

2004 Australia Lunar Series I Year of the Monkey 2 oz Silver Colorized Coin

Add a scarce early Perth Mint Lunar Series I release to your collection with this beautiful 2004 Year of the Monkey colorized silver coin.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 2 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, this Australian legal-tender coin features the classic Lunar Series I monkey design enhanced with selective color. The reverse depicts a monkey perched on a branch along with the Chinese character for Monkey and The Perth Mint's famous “P” mint mark.

The colorized 2 oz version is considerably scarcer than the standard bullion issue. The Perth Mint reports a final declared mintage of only 6,399 coins, making this an attractive piece for collectors assembling the increasingly difficult Lunar Series I colorized set.
