The ancient Chinese lunar calendar’s 12-year cycle comes to an end in 2019 with the auspicious pig, believed to be a lucky animal representing abundance. Those born in The year of the Pig including 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019 and every preceding 12th year are said to be honest, loyal and sincere, with a calm temperament. A beautiful tribute to these traditional beliefs, the Chinese lunar pig sparkles with a beautiful citrine gemstone set into its eye.
Golden Eye
The reverse of the coin features a coloured representation of a pig with pink and black markings, along with four piglets, amid stylised foliage. The adult pig has a golden citrine gemstone set into its eye. The Chinese character for ‘pig’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Pig’ appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
Lunar Presentation Packaging
Each coin is housed in a classic black and red display case and themed shipper and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
