Year of the Pig ~ Silver Proof Coin with High Relief in Case
|
The Australian Lunar Silver Coin Series II – 2019 Year of the Pig 1oz Silver Proof High Relief coin represents the very best in minting excellence and design.
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 sign of the pig tend to be honest, loyal, sincere and generous, with a calm temperament.
The reverse of the coin features a representation of a domesticated or pet pig, which are typically pink with black markings, along with four piglets, amid stylised 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.
The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2019 year-date, the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination are shown on the coin’s obverse.
The coin’s high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.
Each coin is housed in a classic black and red display case within a themed shipper, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
