In Chinese culture, the Pig symbolizes wealth, generosity, honesty, and good fortune. Those born under the Pig sign are believed to enjoy prosperity and a comfortable life, making Pig-year coins particularly popular as both collectibles and symbolic keepsakes.
The Australian Lunar Series I, launched in 1996, was the Perth Mint’s first program inspired by the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Each year featured a unique reverse design representing one of the twelve zodiac animals, with strict mintages and high silver purity. Running from 1996 through 2007, Series I quickly gained worldwide recognition for its artistry, limited production, and annual design changes. The success of this groundbreaking series laid the foundation for the highly popular Lunar Series II and III that followed, cementing the Perth Mint’s reputation as a global leader in lunar-themed coinage.
