Togo Year of the Monkey Baboon 2004 1000 Francs Proof Silver Crown

$64.99

Yet another in a line of beautiful gilded proof silver zodiac world coins this Crown is one of two that ties as my favorites. The reverse side’s design is simple and elegant and displays a baboon in the familiar pattern of zodiac coins from many other countries, but the obverse, showing a warrior of Northern Chinese ethnic stock bedecked in a plumed headpiece and ample necklaces, is especially striking and elevates this world coin greatly in my estimation. If you are a Monkey or a world coin collector with an appreciation for unique zodiacal world coins then this one would be a stunning addition to your collection.

Mongolia Year of the Monkey Silver Crown 500 Tugrik Terper 2004 BU

$69.99

2004 marked the Year of the Monkey, and Mongolia issued this silver crown to mark the event. 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004— People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn’t be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly. They are most compatible with the Dragon and Rat.
