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.
The Royal Mint’s Shengxiào (Lunar) Series
The Royal Mint is a national treasure, making beautifully crafted coins and medals for countries all over the world. Over a thousand years of craftsmanship and artistry ensures every piece they strike is a long-lasting piece of history.
The Royal Mint’s Lunar Shēngxiào coin collection was launched in 2014 and celebrates wonderful Chinese traditions in a unique fusion of Chinese and British heritage. Each coin features contemporary designs of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac.
The lunar calendar plays a significant role in Chinese culture, helping people choose auspicious days for notable events in their lives, such as a wedding day. It also sets out auspicious dates, including Chinese New Year. During these celebrations gifts in red envelopes are often given to family, friends and colleagues symbolising love, luck and good fortune. The coins of The Shēngxiào Collection are a continuation of this ancient gift-giving tradition.
