We carry this coin as part of our broader selection of sovereign-minted fractional gold. Its combination of recognized government backing, four-nines purity, and thematic appeal from one of the world's most respected mints makes it a well-defined product within the fractional gold category.
The Perth Mint launched the Chinese Lunar Series I in 1996, releasing one coin annually to correspond with each year in the Chinese zodiac. The series concluded with the 2007 Pig, completing a full 12-year run that spans the Rat through the Pig. Each issue was produced in multiple sizes and formats, with the fractional denominations drawing consistent interest due to their lower entry price relative to full-ounce offerings.
The Perth Mint itself has operated since 1899 and carries a reputation for precision craftsmanship and consistent quality across its bullion and collector programs. Its gold coins are widely recognized across international bullion markets and accepted by dealers and trading platforms globally. The Lunar Series I holds particular significance because it represents the mint's foundational effort in the now highly popular zodiac coin category, predating numerous competing series from other national mints.
The Year of the Pig carries cultural significance in Chinese tradition, associated with good fortune, diligence, and generosity. As the final coin in Series I, the 2007 issue also marks a natural collector endpoint, which has contributed to its sustained recognition among buyers who followed the series from its beginning.
The reverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of a pig rendered in the refined artistic style characteristic of Perth Mint Lunar issues. The design incorporates naturalistic modeling of the animal's form, with engraving quality that reflects the mint's high production standards. The year of issue, coin weight, metal purity, and denomination are inscribed alongside the primary design, consistent with Perth Mint's approach across the series.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coinage during this period. This portrait is accompanied by the face value and the country of issue. The combination of a detailed reverse design and a formally recognized obverse portrait gives the coin a polished, authoritative appearance that distinguishes it from privately minted rounds of similar size.
At 0.05 troy ounces, this coin offers a practical entry point into gold ownership without requiring the capital outlay associated with half-ounce or one-ounce pieces. Fractional gold of this size allows buyers to accumulate positions gradually or diversify across multiple issues within the same series without concentrating all spending in a single purchase.
The 1/20 oz format also has practical utility when physical metals are being moved or divided, since smaller denominations can be allocated or transferred in smaller increments. The trade-off is that fractional coins carry proportionally higher premiums per ounce than larger sizes, a characteristic of virtually all fractional precious metals products regardless of mint or series.
The Perth Mint produces its gold lunar coins to strict minting tolerances, and the .9999 purity standard is among the highest available in sovereign gold coinage. Each coin is struck with precision tooling and undergoes quality control before leaving the facility. The mint's P mintmark, visible on the coin, serves as a direct authentication reference tied to the production origin.
Every product we offer is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before fulfillment. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further support our ability to handle, evaluate, and if needed, facilitate grading for coins like this one. Buyers can purchase with confidence knowing the product has been handled with proper attention to authentication and condition standards.
This coin is listed in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, meaning it has not been placed into circulation and retains its original mint-struck surfaces. BU coins are expected to display full luster and sharp detail, though minor contact marks from the minting and handling process may be present, as is typical for mass-produced bullion coins that are not individually inspected to proof-grade standards.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve condition during transit. The Perth Mint's 1/20 oz Lunar coins are typically packaged in tubes of 25, and buyers purchasing a full tube quantity can expect to receive the coins in that format. If you are purchasing a single coin or a quantity smaller than a full tube, it will arrive secured in a flip. Packaging is designed to maintain the coin's integrity from the time it leaves our facility to the time it reaches you.
Like all gold bullion coins, the 2007 Gold Lunar Pig is priced based on the real-time spot price of gold, with a premium added above that base level. For fractional coins, that premium is typically higher on a per-ounce basis than it is for full-ounce equivalents, reflecting the additional production cost per unit of metal for smaller-format pieces. The Perth Mint's strong global reputation and the collectible nature of a completed Series I issue contribute additional demand that can influence where premiums settle in the secondary market.
Our pricing reflects live market conditions and is updated continuously. We structure premiums to be straightforward and transparent, so buyers can evaluate the true cost of ownership without ambiguity. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product page provides a real-time view of both the purchase price and the current buyback value, which we encourage buyers to review before completing any transaction.
Gold coins from The Perth Mint are recognized across global bullion markets, and the Lunar series specifically has an established collector base that spans North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The .9999 purity and government-issued status of this coin make it straightforward to trade through established dealer channels. Fractional coins do face somewhat narrower buyback markets than full-ounce products, though the Perth Mint brand and the Lunar series' collector appeal help support demand on the resale side.
We operate as a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell gold coins through our platform at competitive prices. Liquidity considerations are built into our pricing structure from the start, so buyers are not left without a clear path when they are ready to sell. We believe understanding the full transaction before you buy, including the expected resale value, leads to better decisions and fewer surprises.
This coin occupies an interesting position in the fractional gold market. It is the concluding issue in a 12-year series from one of the world's most respected sovereign mints, which gives it both the standard appeal of Perth Mint gold and a degree of series-completion significance that many single-year issues lack. Buyers who have collected other Lunar Series I coins will recognize the Pig as the natural endpoint of that run.
Beyond its series context, the coin delivers .9999 fine gold in a compact, government-issued format with strong international name recognition. The fractional size makes it accessible without sacrificing the credibility that comes with a sovereign-minted product. For buyers who want gold in a smaller denomination backed by a national government and struck to exacting standards, this coin is a well-defined option.
We built our platform around the idea that buyers deserve clear pricing, genuine product authentication, and a consistent experience from purchase through delivery. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction. As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we are equipped to handle coins at a level of care that matters for products like this one.
Our two-way market structure means we are as committed to the selling experience as we are to the buying experience. We display live bid and ask pricing on product pages so buyers can evaluate the complete transaction rather than just the purchase price. Every product we sell is verified before fulfillment, and our customer service team is accessible when questions arise. The goal is a straightforward, transparent relationship built on accurate information and reliable follow-through.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including fractional gold coins like this one. For a product where premiums per ounce are naturally higher than full-size alternatives, having visibility into real-time wholesale pricing provides meaningful context for evaluating whether current market conditions represent a favorable entry point. Pro members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid prices, offering a more accurate picture of what holdings are worth at any given moment.
The platform's product research tools allow members to compare premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across products, making it easier to identify relative value within the fractional gold category without relying on marketing claims. Historical premium data and proprietary analytics provide additional context for understanding how this coin trades over time and how it compares to other Perth Mint issues or competing Lunar series products from other mints.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchasing process as straightforward as possible. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each method is processed through a secure transaction environment, and our checkout is designed to give buyers confidence at every step.
Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card or the efficiency of a wire transfer for a larger purchase, we have structured our payment options to accommodate different buyer preferences without compromising on security. Our goal is a purchasing experience that is simple, transparent, and backed by reliable fulfillment from the moment the order is placed.
