The 2007 1/2 oz Australian Gold Lunar Pig is a half-troy-ounce bullion coin struck in .9999 fine gold by The Perth Mint as part of the original Australian Lunar Series I program. Carrying legal tender status under Australian law, the coin bears a face value of $50 AUD and represents the Year of the Pig in the traditional Chinese zodiac. This particular release marks the final year of the twelve-year Series I cycle, which ran from 1996 through 2007.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, making it a strong choice for both bullion collectors and those who appreciate the design quality that defines the Lunar series. The half-ounce format offers meaningful gold content in a more accessible size than the full one-ounce version.

This particular release marks the final year of the twelve-year Series I cycle, which ran from 1996 through 2007.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, making it a strong choice for both bullion collectors and those who appreciate the design quality that defines the Lunar series. The half-ounce format offers meaningful gold content in a more accessible size than the full one-ounce version.
The Australian Lunar Series I was introduced by The Perth Mint in 1996 as a twelve-coin commemorative program tied to the Chinese lunar calendar. Each year featured a new animal from the zodiac cycle, with the Pig completing the series in 2007. The program was highly regarded for its artistic consistency and minting quality, and it helped establish The Perth Mint as one of the world's leading producers of themed bullion coinage.
The Perth Mint itself has operated continuously since 1899, originally established as a branch of the Royal Mint under British authority. It became a state-owned entity of Western Australia in 1970 and has since grown into one of the most respected precious metals facilities in the world, responsible for refining, minting, and distributing gold and silver products across global markets. The mint's long operational history and commitment to precision are central to the reputation these coins carry in the collector and bullion markets.
The Pig holds a particularly meaningful place within Chinese cultural tradition, representing prosperity, diligence, and good fortune. Its position as the twelfth and final animal in the zodiac cycle gave the 2007 release added significance among collectors who had followed the series from its beginning. Demand for the final-year issues of the Series I program has historically been strong, particularly in formats with lower original mintages.
The reverse of the coin features an artistic rendering of a pig set against a detailed background, rendered with the fine engraving standards The Perth Mint is known for. The composition incorporates Chinese lunar symbolism alongside the inscription "Year of the Pig" and displays the coin's weight, purity, and gold content. The overall design balances figurative imagery with clean numismatic presentation.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian coinage during this period. Her Majesty's likeness appears in right-facing profile accompanied by the face value and the issuing country designation. The contrast between the portrait's classical formality and the reverse's thematic artistry is a defining characteristic of the Lunar series format.
Brilliant Uncirculated coins from The Perth Mint display sharp relief, clean fields, and well-defined edges. The .9999 fine gold composition gives the coin a distinctly warm, rich tone that reads differently from coins struck in lower-purity alloys.
At half a troy ounce, this coin sits comfortably between entry-level fractional gold and the full one-ounce standard. It allows buyers to acquire a meaningful quantity of .9999 fine gold at a lower total outlay than the one-ounce equivalent, while still benefiting from the same design quality and Perth Mint provenance. The format is practical for those building a gold position incrementally or who prefer smaller denomination pieces for eventual distribution or gift purposes.
Fractional gold coins like this one typically carry a modestly higher premium per ounce than their one-ounce counterparts, reflecting the proportionally greater production cost per unit of metal. That relationship is worth understanding when comparing formats, and our pricing reflects real-time market conditions rather than arbitrary markup structures.
The Perth Mint's production standards are among the most rigorous in the global bullion industry. Each coin is struck to a declared weight of 1/2 troy ounce and a confirmed purity of .9999 fine gold, with quality control procedures embedded throughout the production process. The mint's long-standing reputation rests in part on the consistency and precision of its output across both bullion and numismatic formats.
Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further support our ability to handle and authenticate coins that require third-party grading or certification. For Brilliant Uncirculated pieces like this one, the condition designation reflects the coin's handling and production quality at the time of release from the mint.
Brilliant Uncirculated denotes a coin that has been struck to a standard finish without any deliberate polishing or special treatment, and has not entered circulation. BU coins from The Perth Mint display full original luster, sharp strike quality, and no wear. Minor contact marks or bag marks can sometimes be present as a natural result of the minting and packaging process, but these do not affect the coin's metal content or bullion value.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve condition during transit. Perth Mint Lunar half-ounce coins are typically packaged in tubes of twenty-five for the inner pack quantity. If you are purchasing a full tube, the coins ship sealed in that tube configuration. For single-coin orders, you can expect the flip format with appropriate outer packaging to ensure the coin arrives securely.
Pricing on this coin is based on the live spot price of gold, with a premium added to reflect production costs, distribution, and the collectible nature of a final-year Lunar Series I release. Premiums on themed bullion coins from The Perth Mint tend to run higher than standard sovereign coins, particularly for formats with limited original mintage or strong collector demand. The half-ounce format also carries a slightly elevated per-ounce premium relative to the full one-ounce version, which is standard across fractional gold products.
Our pricing is structured to reflect real-time market conditions transparently. We display the bid/ask spread on each product page, giving buyers a clear view of both the acquisition cost and the expected resale value rather than asking them to make a purchase decision based on the buy side alone. Understanding the full spread is a more complete way to evaluate any bullion transaction.
Gold Lunar coins from The Perth Mint carry broad recognition among collectors and bullion buyers in both domestic and international markets. The Series I program is well documented, and the Pig as the final-year issue has historically attracted collector interest that supports resale activity. The coin's declared weight and .9999 purity are internationally recognized standards, which contributes to its tradability across a wide range of markets and counterparties.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers who purchase through us can also sell back through the same platform using competitive buyback pricing. Liquidity is a factor worth considering before a purchase is made, not only at the time of sale, and we build that consideration into how we present and price every product we carry.
This coin offers a combination of attributes that few bullion products replicate in a single package. It carries government-issued legal tender status, is produced by one of the world's most respected mints, and represents the conclusion of a twelve-year thematic series with genuine collector significance. The .9999 fine gold purity is among the highest available in the bullion market, and the half-ounce format provides flexibility in terms of cost and portfolio composition.
For collectors who focused on the Lunar Series I across its full run, the Pig is the necessary final piece. For buyers less focused on the series as a whole, the coin stands on its own as a high-quality fractional gold product with above-average design execution and strong underlying provenance. The convergence of bullion value and collector appeal in a single coin is what makes Lunar Series I releases particularly interesting to a broad range of buyers.
We have built our platform around the principle that buying and selling precious metals should be transparent, data-driven, and straightforward. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display the bid/ask spread on every product page so buyers understand both sides of the transaction before committing. That level of transparency is central to how we operate.
Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association, and membership in the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a long-term commitment to ethical dealing and professional standards. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are equipped to handle authenticated and graded products with the care they require. Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and our two-way market model means we stand behind the products we sell by actively buying them back at competitive prices. We source from reputable mints, refineries, and established distributors, and our fulfillment and customer service operations are built around reliability and long-term trust.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like this one, providing direct visibility into how the coin is priced and traded at the wholesale level. Rather than working from indicative or estimated prices, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups or dealer spreads applied on top. For a coin like the Lunar Pig, where premiums and market activity can shift based on collector demand and supply availability, having access to live wholesale pricing adds meaningful context to every buy and sell decision.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid pricing, which gives a more accurate picture of liquidation value than retail-side estimates. Proprietary market intelligence tools, historical premium data, and product comparison features allow members to evaluate this coin alongside others in the catalog using objective metrics rather than marketing descriptions. For anyone holding or building a position in Lunar series gold, that kind of pricing transparency and market visibility is a substantive advantage.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure regardless of how you prefer to transact. Accepted methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments processed through BitPay. Each method is handled through secure payment infrastructure designed to protect your transaction and personal information throughout the process.
Whether you are purchasing a single half-ounce coin or adding multiple pieces to an existing position, the checkout experience is built around convenience, clarity, and security at every step.
