The inscription ‘YEAR OF THE PIG’ and the Chinese character for pig is also included in the design, together with the 2019 year-date, the coin’s weight and fineness and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

Presentation Case with Light and Numbered Certificate
The coin is presented in a prestigious display case with a light, which turns on as you open the lid and illuminates the stunning individual colours of the opal. The coin is packaged within a beautifully illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
