Silver Ounce 2019 Year of the Pig, Coin from France - detailed information
| ||||||
Like many other mints, Monnaie de Paris (the Paris Mint) issues coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The one ounce (1 oz) silver coins are denominated as 20€ (Twenty Euro), and as such are only legal tender in France and not in the whole Eurozone - only the regular circulating coins from 1 Euro Cent to 2 Euro are legal tender in all member countries, while all other denominations are legal tender in the issuing country only. Some of these coins are issued around the theme of the Chinese Lunar Calendar - a zodiac with a twelve-year cycle in which every year is associated with one of twelve different animals. This coin is dedicated to the Chinese 2019 Year of the Pig (5 February 2019 to 24 January 2020). According to the Chinese zodiac, the pig is known to be diplomatic and sensitive. He is attentive toward his relatives, friends and family and likes to make those around him happy. He is honest and prefers thinking before acting. His reasonable side will allow him to weigh the pros and the cons instead of taking the plunge because of impulsiveness. Full of gentleness and kindness the Pig is loved by others and gains respect naturally. | ||||||
