    My order from Perth finally came in including aphrodite. The Monkeys are pretty cool, I don't normally play with the 1oz or 1/2 proof but they are pretty cool. At first I didn't like the design, I still don't think its the best, but its better in person in my opinion. YMMV.

    I was hoping they would make a more different looking coin. They added another monkey when you compare it to the 1992 Year of the Monkey coin, it is a nice coin.

    Here is the 1992 Year of the Monkey, a little similar. Thank you for sharing the new Lunar series.

    Why is the baby monkey drinking a cup of coffee??


    Sorry for pointing that out, as it can't now be unseen.

    Just passing along the "favor" that somebody graciously-enough bestowed upon me.. :p

    Certainly not one of their stronger designs.


    I'm struggling with this one.. :(

    Probably not a good sign.


    BTW, remember how I said the peach = a cup of coffee?

    Well, somebody also mentioned elsewhere that both monkeys are wearing haz-mat suits.. :eek:

    My Lunar coins just came. I must definitely say I like the monkey design. However the gold is definitely the better one. But comparing the silver monkey to the goat I like the monkey a lot better. The fur is a lot more high relief. Reminds me of the fur of the Pandas in the Chinese coins. All of the coins were also milk spot free which was a relief. Maybe Perth Mint has really improved their quality control?

    Here are some pics:

    I can agree with roasted goat, but roasted monkey would taste gamey.
