2019 Year of the Pig Designs
The Wealth coin’s reverse depicts a representation of a domestic pig atop a mound of coins in ‘fu’ (fortune) bags. The pig is resting its forelegs on an ancient Chinese coin bearing a blessing of wealth. The inscriptions ‘WEALTH’ and ‘2019 YEAR OF THE PIG’ are also featured in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
The Wisdom coin’s reverse portrays a domestic pig surrounded by ancient Chinese symbols of learning including scrolls of paper, a quill and a pot of ink. A stalk of bamboo to one side of the pig symbolises longevity and perseverance, virtues traditionally attributed to scholars. Also included in the design is a willow tree, representing the wisdom to adapt and the strength not to break. The inscriptions ‘WISDOM’ and ‘2019 YEAR OF THE PIG’ also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
