The monkey occupies the 9th position in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, also known as the Zodiac. In Chinese culture, it is believed that those who are born under the sign of a specific animal share the personality and characteristic traits of the animal representing their year of birth. The Zodiac is a 12-year cycle, which means the Year of the Monkey covers those born in 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, and so on.
Those born under the sign of the monkey are said to be curious, mischievous, and clever. These individuals are often playful, practical jokers who are intelligent and creative, but whose activities also lead to hurt feelings.
On the obverse face of the 5 Gram PAMP Suisse Lunar Monkey Gold Bar is image of a monkey as it climbs along a branch. The trunk of a tree is visible along the vertical face of the bar, running right down the center of the design. Just above the monkey, on the trunk of the tree, is the Chinese symbol for monkey.
The reverse face uses the common opposite-image design used on all PAMP Suisse lunar series bar. You can see the image from the obverse from behind, with the tail of the monkey wrapping around the tree trunk and its head visible on the opposite side. Along the trunk are engravings that include the PAMP Suisse corporate logo, the bar’s weight, metal content, and purity, as well as the individual serial number and assayer’s mark of the bar.
