In 2019, The Perth Mint’s internationally renowned Australian Lunar Gold Coin Series II celebrates the Year of the Pig, the twelfth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
The birth dates for people ruled by the Chinese Lunar Pig include 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019.
Those born under the influence of this sign are said to be honest, loyal, sincere and generous, with a calm temperament.
This beautiful Lunar coin design features a representation of a domesticated or pet pig, which are typically pink with black markings, amid stylised rocks and foliage including a peony flower. The Chinese character for ‘pig’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Pig’ also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure gold, this stunning 1/10oz coin is limited to 4,000 and is issued as Australian legal tender.
The coin is housed in an elegant oval-shaped display case, featuring a glossy timber-effect lid, and presented in a coloured themed shipper with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. A fantastic keepsake or gift for those born in the Year of the Pig.
