2019 5 oz Silver Lunar Year of The Pig BU Australian Perth Mint In Cap

This thrilling 2019 5 oz Silver Lunar Year of The Pig Coin is the latest release in the landmark Lunar Series II from the prominent Perth Mint featuring the newest "Year of the pig" image. The Lunar Series I program was released in 1999 by the Perth Mint and it instantly gained tremendous popularity. The Lunar Series II started in 2008 with the "Year of the Mouse" release so the two coin programs overlapped during 2008 and 2010. The Lunar program is highly popular due to its high purity and impressive design, each year depicting the image of the Chinese Zodiac character.

The 2019 issue presents the image of a pig and people born under this sign are considered happy, easygoing, honest, and trusting. On the reverse, this coin features an adorable pot-bellied pig standing on a grass field amidst four piglets. Above the sow and its piglets, a deciduous branch hovers over them, with the Chinese character for pig seen right next to the branch. On the bottom of the reverse the inscription "Year of the Pig" is written. The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The year, denomination, weight, and fineness are all seen encircled around the obverse.
