One of the unique features of the Gold Lunar Monkey is that the reverse side of the coin changes every year and displays an image of a different animal. This is a very attractive feature, as it differences the Gold Lunar Monkey from other name brand coins on the market. It also appeals to collectors, who are interested in owning each coin from the whole Gold Lunar II series. The 2016 Gold Lunar Monkey depicts a monkey sitting in a peach tree on the reverse side of the coin. The same image appears on all of the coin sizes in the Lunar Monkey series.
Pro’s and Con’s of Fractional Coins
Fractional gold coins are generally popular with those investors who are looking for alternative weights and price points to the one 1 oz coin.
In addition, those who are looking to own multiple types of brand name coins, like the Gold Lunar Monkey, may consider fractional coins as a way to own the coins at lower price points.
The one downside to fractional gold coins is that they typically carry a higher premium. This is because smaller weight coins have higher manufacturing costs. Therefore, an investor must decide the best option for their particular circumstance.
Those who are investing with the sole objective to get the most gold for the money may want to consider gold bars.
