The Two Little Pigs 🐷 🐷

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago (edited)

February 16, 2019 - February 4, 2020 will the the Chinese Zodiac Lunar Year of the Pig. 🐷

The year of the pig is the 12th of a 12 year Chinese Zodiac cycle. The following are years of the Pig: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031. 2019 is specifically the year of the “Earth Pig”.



According to China Highlights those born in a Pig year are:

diligent, compassionate, and generous. They have great concentration: once they set a goal, they will devote all their energy to achieving it. Though Pigs rarely seek help from others, they will not refuse to give others a hand. Pigs never suspect trickery, so they are easily fooled.
General speaking, Pigs are relatively calm when facing trouble. No matter how difficult the problems are Pigs encounter, they can handle things properly and carefully. They have a great sense of responsibility to finish what they are engaged in.

And how might one celebrate the Year of the Pig?

With Commemorative Coins of Course!

First little piggy came from Rwanda 🇷🇼. This coin, with a face value of 50 Rwandan francs, is the third in the Rwandan Lunar Series. The coin is 1oz of .999 fine silver and arrives still in mint packaging. The coin will only be minted until the next in the series is released.

The second little piggy came from Australia 🇦🇺. This coin, produced by the Perth Mint, has a limited mintage of 300,000. This is the second series of lunar coins released by the mint. This year’s 1oz pig is .9999 pure and has a $1 AUD face value.
People online have been hating on the Perth pig. I think it’s cute. Pigs are great. ☺️

And all the little pigs came wee wee wee into my home. 🤣😂🤣


Keep on Stacking & Pig Piling!😄

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

The Rwanda pig does look very happy. Perth pig looks like she is about to abandon her babies. LOL

Poor little Perth piglets. 😭

Well at least you’re bringing home the bacon!
🥓🥓🥓
The one from Rwanda is pretty decent to fulfill a collection, but i’m not a fan of this little piggy’s butthole from Perth — 🤣🤣🤣

The Rwandan lunar rooster sells for over $55 now. Seems it might end up being a good investment series.

The mosaic style is pretty cool, and it looks like theys appreciating fast 👍

Love the lunar pig !

I think you'll like the first piece of silver I've ordered with Fiat, it's from the Wakanda Rwanda Lunar Series too 😆

Wakanda forever! 😄

Other than the design, that was a definite thing I had in mind when choosing the first piece 😆

I think pigs are not enough photogenic to make a beautiful coin with them.

Not photogenic! Look at this face! I 💕 🐷

Cool coins! Quite a contrast in design between the two, but the differences kind of complement each other. The Australian design is very traditional while the Rwandan is a unique abstract mosaic looking design. They go well together! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
