1 oz Silver Coin - 2019 Year of The Pig - Perth Mint .9999

In 2019, The Perth Mint’s internationally renowned Australian Lunar Silver 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, along with four piglets, amid stylized foliage. The Chinese character for ‘pig’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Pig’ appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1 oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin has a mintage of 5,000 coins and is issued as Australian legal tender. The coin is housed in a stylish red and black presentation case with a themed shipper, and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

A fantastic keepsake or gift for those born in the Year of the Pig.
