The 2007 Year of the Pig was special because it was a “Golden Pig” year, a rare event happening about once every 60 years when the pig sign combines with the metal element. In many East Asian traditions, this combination is considered highly lucky, and families often hope for children to be born during such a prosperous year.

Each 2007 1/10 oz Australian Gold Lunar Pig Coin is offered in a plastic flip. These coins were the last release in the Lunar Series I lineup, a collection that ran from 1996 to 2007. The Year of the Pig marks the end of the zodiac’s 12-year rotation.

On the obverse of the 2007 Australian Gold Lunar Pig Coins is Queen Elizabeth II. She appears in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. This portrait, designed in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, became the fourth official likeness of the Queen on Australian coins.

The reverse design shows a small piglet standing on rocks in a shallow creek. The background includes a beaded border with the coin’s identifying marks, including weight, purity, and year of issue.
