Interesting fact

The 50 Yuan (Year of the Monkey) 2016 coin from the People's Republic of China is unique because it features a rare combination of a monkey privy mark on a silver coin. Privy marks are small designs or symbols added to a coin's design, often to commemorate a specific event or to signify a particular mint. In this case, the monkey privy mark is a nod to the Chinese zodiac, which assigns a different animal to each year in the lunar calendar. The use of a privy mark on a silver coin adds an extra layer of collectibility and rarity to an already valuable coin.
