Gold Quarter Ounce 2007 Year of the Pig, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The Australian quarter-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1/4 oz and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used. This coin is part of the Lunar Series issued by the Perth Mint's Lunar Series, and marks the Chinese 2007 Year of the Pig (18 February 2007 - 6 February 2008). The mint says about it: | ||||||
