2019 Year of the Pig 1oz Silver Coloured Proof Coin
2019 Year of the Pig 1oz Silver Coloured Proof Coin
In 2019, we celebrate the final animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, the social, inquisitive and highly intelligent pig.
Easy-going, sincere and calm under pressure are character traits said to be present in people born under the sign of the pig in 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019.
2019 Year of the Pig Design
The meticulously coloured silver release features a representation of a domesticated pink and black marking and four gorgeous little piglets amid stylised foliage.
The Chinese pinyin character for ‘pig’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Pig’ also appear on the reverse with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
Elegant Packaging and Numbered Certificate
The coin is housed in a classic red and black display case within a lunar themed shipper, and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
