Story

Year of the 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.

Stunning 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.
