In the Lunar Series II collection, the 2019 Year of the Pig release is the final issue of the collection. The Chinese Lunar Calendar follows a 12-year cycle that starts with the Year of the Rat and concludes with the Year of the Pig. The final designs of the Lunar Series II collection include a variety of choices for both collectors and investors.

In this case, the collectible Proof Colorized Australian Silver Pig Coin includes a layer of colorization added to the reverse design elements. The female sow has shades of white and pink across her body with patches of darker fur across her body and face. The little piglets have the same colorization patterns as the mother.

On the reverse of 2019 1 oz Proof Colorized Australian Silver Pig Coins features the design of the female pig in left-profile relief with four little piglets surrounding her near her feet. Engravings include the Chinese symbol for pig, the “P” mint mark of the Perth Mint, and the phrase “Year of the Pig.”

The obverse side of 2019 Proof Colorized Silver Pig Coins includes the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is depicted here in the fourth-generation design from the Royal Mint of England. The fifth design to actually feature on Australian coins since 1952, this image was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley and has been a staple of British and Australian coinage since.

Perth Mint is the oldest operating facility in Australia. Independent of the Royal Australian Mint, the Perth Mint is owned by the state government of Western Australia and is one of the few major mints in the world to perform its own colorization for major collectible programs.
