Chinese astrology is over 5000 years old. It indicates the character and destiny of a person. The twelve animals that make up these cycles give their names to the years. In 2019, the Perth Mint celebrates the Year of the Pig, the twelfth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. The coin of one ounce of gold in proof quality features the image of a domesticated pig amid stylised rocks and foliage including a peony flower. The Chinese character for 'pig' and the inscription 'Year of the Pig' are part of the coin design. The years of the pig include those born in the years 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019. The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the year 2019, and the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II', 'AUSTRALIA', '1OZ 9999 GOLD' and '100 DOLLARS' are depicted on the coin’s obverse. This gold coin is limited to 3,000 pieces and is presented in elegant oval-shaped display case, featuring a glossy timber-effect lid. The precious gold coin comes with numbered certificate of authenticity in an illustrated box.
