Year of the Pig Gold Coin

The Perth Mint has produced the Year of the Pig Gold Coin as part of its Australian Lunar Gold Coin Series

In Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Pig - 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995 and 2007 - are regarded as gallant, honest, generous and intelligent.

And In 2007, the Australian Lunar Gold Proof Issue will celebrate the Year of the Pig with a design depicting a pig standing in a bed of mushrooms. The Chinese character for ‘pig’ and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark will also appear in the design.

The 2007 Year of the Pig Proof Issue 1/10oz Coin is Proof Quality 99.99% Pure Gold.

Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, it features Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the coin is housed in a green leatherette case, which is encased within an attractive outer sleeve.

A numbered Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each of the 7,000 individual 1/10oz coins issued worldwide.
