Royal Mint Year of Pig 2019

[Bullionbilly]

That was clearly signed off at 4:59 on a Friday !

[Bullionaire]

I don't know why they've put the little landscape at the top. Makes it too cluttered. Would have been better with just piggy in the middle

[FoolzGold]

The only common stylistic theme to this 'series' seems to be to make each design more unappealing than the last. If that's their aim then hats off to RM, they've surpassed all expectations with this one. 🙄

[MickB]

It seems as if the Royal Mint committee are all Yes men to the boss, too afraid to speak out about poor designs. Or maybe they think they can churn out what they want as they think we're all gullible. I don't understand the design of this coin, why the night sky and a farmhouse in the background?!!

[knighthawk]

If people keep buying them they will keep making them.

I quite like it. There’s a fairly low limit for how exciting a coin with a pig on it can be.

Not exciting? Spiderpig disagrees!

That's a plain ugly coin.

Seems the Perth Mint Lunar II Pig is due out 4th September. No doubt a better design than the Royal Mint. Better be!

Difficult to be worse anyway! 

[Phil100]

Think it's brilliant - as it will save me a fair bit of money - coz there's not a cat in hells chance I will be buying that!! Amateurish bordering on hideous! RM should ashamed - and I cant imagine Queenie is too chuffed with having her face slapped on reverse of that?

I am afraid I will go for the gilded one, as I am going for the series. 😳 

But this series is going from bad to worse and I think it may acquire a cult status in the future. 🤖

At last Fergie and her brood are celebrated with the coin they deserve

I just hope the colourised version has lipstick

[sixgun]

i have only just clicked on this thread.

This is an abomination. They have made a complete pig's ear of the design.

[CadmiumGreen]

I am sure it will look much better in gold 🙁...Doesn’t the Chinese writing say “Worst design ever”?

[Roy]

@Kman

Have you seen this?

Feast your eyes on the gold version.. it's simply glorious! 😄

[Rgcoins]

To be honest this seems like a great flop coin. If they continue to release it. I can see it being a black sheep and fetching high premium later. 

I mean I guess all the snowflakes will start collect them, considering it raises breastfeeding awareness.

Glorious indeed! Still looks like a pig roast with canabalistic piglets feeding on the roasted pig, as you can see the smoke rising from the ground.

[Rgcoins]

I’m saving up for this

This is the interesting angle isnt it?  Will it (or the dog) be a valuable part of the series in years to come due to low popularity at the time, and collectors taste change.

Lpm will be expensive I can bring u one during Christmas 

[Bagenz]

I think this would look better if the pig had a set of wings, cause this pig coin will not fly off the shelves.

Somthing like this.

The queens face is the front of the coin. Unless you're calling the queen a pig of course...
