After the Chinese Zodiac, the year 2019 is the "Year of the Pig". According to legend, one day Buddha called all the animals to him, but only twelve answered his call: a rat appeared first, followed by a buffalo, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, cock, dog, and finally a pig. This partially gilded coin is dedicated to the twelfth Chinese zodiac sign to the pig. The coin was minted from 999 silver in proof quality. The motive shows a female pig, who sits there protectively and monitors his piglets on a farm. At the top is the inscription "YEAR OF THE PIG" and the character "豬" - which means pig. The Chinese sign and the pig in the foreground of the coin are gilded. The value side shows the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "NIUE", "2019", "8 DOLLARS" and "5OZ 999 SILVER". The numbered coin will be delivered in an elegant case along with a certificate of authenticity. The edition is limited to only 500 pieces worldwide.
