culture.

in six silver sizes and eight gold sizes starting from 1/20oz. Just 100
special hand finished 10 kilo silver coins will also be available.
The legal tender status of each coin guarantees its weight and purity,
giving investors worldwide confidence and surety that they are investing in a
trusted and enduring asset.
While the pig concludes the second Australian Lunar series, investors will
be delighted learn that the theme will continue on an intriguing third series
from 2020.
