When you purchase a 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin through this Provident Metals roduct listing, you will receive your coin with a presentation box and a Certificate of Authenticity from the Perth Mint. Each of these coins features a thin layer of 24-karat gold on the reverse design element. Known as a gilded coin, these items blend the two favored precious metals of investors into one beautiful coin with stunning visual contrast.

Obverse

The obverse face of the 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin includes the right-profile bust of Queen Elizabeth II. The 2019 Lunar Series II coins from the Perth Mint were the last major coins to feature the fifth-generation Australian design. This portrait of the Queen was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley for the Royal Mint of England and featured on Australian coins from 1999 to 2018, in most cases. It remained on these 2019 Lunar Series II coins to ensure continuity in the obverse design from 2008 to 2019.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin, you will find the left-profile image of a sow. The mother pig is standing in the background as her four little piglets roam around in the foreground amongst the small outcrops of grass. The mother pig is featured with a thin layer of 24-karat gold as the only gilded design element of the coin.

History

The Perth Mint launched its first Lunar Series collection in 1996, starting its series with the exact year-one design from the Chinese lunar calendar for the Year of the Rat. The first series ran from 1996 to 2007, with these 2019 coins concluding the Lunar Series II collection that ran from 2008 to 2019.
