Australian Lunar Series II Year of the Pig 2019 1 Kilo Silver Gemstone Edition

Those born in The year of the Pig including 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019 and every preceding 12th year are said to be honest, loyal and sincere, with a calm temperament. A beautiful tribute to these traditional beliefs, the Chinese lunar pig sparkles with a beautiful citrine gemstone set into its eye.
