2019 is the Chinese Year of the Pig. Plump in shape, the pig is regarded as a mascot to boost luck and wealth. Since the Chinese characters for “pig” (豬) and “every” (諸) are homophones, it is used to express the wish of “everything goes well”. To celebrate this prosperous Year of the Pig, the famous Royal Mint has proudly issued the “Hong Kong Year of the Pig Gold Proof Medals” in limited worldwide edition! Sequels to the first yellow gold lunar medal series of the HKSAR, these medals gleam with the intrinsic nobleness and splendour of pure yellow gold!
