Perth Mint’s Lunar Series programs are massively popular with investors and collectors. The first of these series, known as Lunar Series I, launched in 1996 and the mint has continued the tradition with a new 12-coin collection each time the Zodiac resets with the Year of the Mouse. The Year of the Pig is the final of the 12 years in the cycle. Right now, 2007 1/2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Pig Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2007 1/2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Pig Coin comes with a protective plastic capsule. The 2007 Year of the Pig issue was the ninth in the Lunar Series I silver collection, but was not the end of the road for Lunar Series I silver. Because the silver coins in Lunar Series I were not introduced in 1996 for the Year of the Mouse, the silver coins continued through 2010 to ensure a 12-coin program, even though it ran offset of the Zodiac cycle.
In Chinese culture, pigs are symbols of wealth and luck. Their chubby faces and big ears are signs of fortitude and prosperity. As such, the Year of the Pig is considered an auspicious year for making money and enjoying life's comforts.
For the obverse of the 2007 Australian Silver Lunar Pig, Perth Mint features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this effigy captures the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. This was the fourth-generation portrait of the Queen during her reign.
In the reverse design of 2007 1/2 oz Silver Lunar Pig Coins, you will find a depiction of a small pig. The pig is shown standing on all fours in right-profile relief with a small pile of leaves clumped together beneath its feet.
