Lunar pig delightful in 1oz gold

A landmark Australian coin program sought by collectors worldwide reaches its finale in 2019 with depictions of the ultimate animal from the 12-year lunar calendar.

Easy-going, sincere and calm under pressure are character traits said to be present in everyone born under the influence of the pig in 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019.
