The Australian one kilo silver piece (abbreviated as 1 kg and designated with Ag for "silver") 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 by the Royal Australian Mint (RAM) and is dedicated to the Lunar "Year of the Pig", celebrating those born under the twelfth sign of the Chinese horoscope.
People born in the year of the pig are considered to be very honest and serious. Pigs are the perfectionists of the Chinese zodiac and are very attentive to their environment. |
