Description
In the Chinese lunar calendar, the year 2019 is ruled by the Pig—a true diamond in the rough! The Pig also ruled 1911, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, and 2007. Though it may appear unrefined, the down-to-earth pig personality is associated with kindness and loyalty. An excellent listener, the pig will always support you. And if you’re wrong, he or she won’t have the heart to tell you. A lover of the good things in life who rarely holds a grudge, this peace-loving soul wants everyone to get along. On this coin, the friendly pig frolics among the lucky blossoms, ensconced within the unique scallop edging of our famed annual Lunar Series!
