In Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Pig - 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995 and 2007 - are regarded as gallant, honest, generous and intelligent.
Year of the Pig Design
In 2007, the Australian Lunar Gold Proof Issue celebrates the Year of the Pig with a design depicting a pig standing in a bed of mushrooms. The Chinese character for ‘pig’ and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark also appear in the design.
