2007 Canada $150 Year of the Pig 18K Gold Hologram

2007 Year of the Pig $150 Gold Lunar Hologram Issued by the Royal Canadian Mint.

The shimmering hologram on this coin hails the arrival of the Pig, a "diamond in the rough". The personality of the Pig might appear rough and unrefined, but scratch the surface just a bit and you'll discover pure gold. A person born in the Year of the Pig is one of the kindest, most loyal friends you could hope for. This is the person to turn to when things get tough.

Eternally helpful, the Pig is an excellent listener and will take up your cause with incredible resolve. Even if you're in the wrong, he won't have the heart to tell you. The Pig enjoys the good things in life with childlike enthusiasm. Unselfish, he assumes everyone else is the same way and will help himself to everything you own and recoil in disbelief when told to stop. He can be quick tempered but will soon give in the peace-loving Pig abhors quarrelling!
