Lunar Year of the Pig - Design

The Pig is the sixth in The Royal Mint’s series of lunar coins brought to life by artist Harry Brockway. Behind the sow, who is lying comfortably nursing her piglets, is a countryside landscape at night, featuring a traditional country home. The number eight, believed to be lucky in Chinese culture, is incorporated in each mintage Only once every 12 years does the pig appear in the Chinese zodiac, making this a unique moment to celebrate an ancient Chinese tradition.
