Story

Year of the pig

A landmark Australian coin program sought by collectors worldwide reaches its finale in 2019 with depictions of the ultimate animal from the 12-year lunar calendar. Easy-going, sincere and calm under pressure are character traits said to be present in everyone born under the influence of the pig in 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019.

Lunar design

Each coin portrays an inspirational design for both Lunar series collectors and everyone proud to mark their allegiance with this social, inquisitive and highly intelligent animal. 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.
