Story

2019 year of the pig

This exceptional coin is the latest in the popular Australian Opal Lunar Series, a popular program from which individual releases often sell out. Highlighting the auspicious lunar pig with a beautiful insert of authentic Australian opal, this stunning coin would make a unique gift for those born in any Year of the Pig.

Opal inset design

The coin’s reverse design features a representation of a pig in authentic Australian opal. The gemstone centre is embedded within a silver coin depicting stylised leaves and flowers. The inscription ‘YEAR OF THE PIG’ and the Chinese character for pig is also included in the design, together with the 2019 year-date, the coin’s weight and fineness and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
