I was browsing Apmex's web site and came across a new series for the 2016 perth mint lunar series called the "monkey king"? I have never heard if this before, and was wondering if anyone on here could possibly shed some light? It apparently will be coming in all sizes from the 1/2 oz to kilo.
The coin was made for the asian market. Its about a mythological figure. Each child in china knows about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Wukong There is also a golden ring edition. I do not see a new series, should be a single event matching the year of the monkey - but you never know. The coin itself is very impressive. I can not descibe it but the colour looks like other comapred to the the regular lunar colorized coins. It appears a bit to be relief. 10oz is impressive. I was very sceptical but did order them. In the end i was surprised. Another source maybe easier for aussies than apmex - https://www.lpm.hk/silver/perth-mint/monkey-king.html Has anybody a source to order the 2oz version ?
I just received the 5oz from Apmex and really like the coin and the quality of the coloring. I think 10oz would be the perfect size so i ordered another.
It seems that they have all the sizes from 1/2 oz to the kilo, but no 2oz. I would like to get a full set one day...if only it included the 2oz....
got my Monkey Kings complete Love them! The Goldring-edition was sooooo hard to get, i cant find them anywhere..even "Googling" doesnt give me a hit on the 2oz
Just wondering if only the 2oz came in the gold ring, or does the other sizes come in gold rings too?
I have the 2nd one out of 5000 GoldRing-Edition made. I see a 1 oz version GRE too, i dont know if all sizes have a GRE
