The 2007 1/4 oz Australian Gold Lunar Pig is a fractional bullion coin struck by the Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold, weighing a quarter troy ounce. It carries legal tender status under the Commonwealth of Australia and forms part of the original Gold Lunar Series I, one of the most respected themed bullion programs in the modern numismatic world. Each coin in the series honors a specific year in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, with 2007 marking the Year of the Pig.
We carry this coin as a recognized fractional gold piece that appeals to both collectors building the complete Lunar Series I set and buyers seeking smaller gold denominations. Its combination of fine gold purity, government-backed issuance, and distinctive annual design gives it a distinct profile within the broader market for fractional gold coins.

Each coin in the series honors a specific year in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, with 2007 marking the Year of the Pig.
We carry this coin as a recognized fractional gold piece that appeals to both collectors building the complete Lunar Series I set and buyers seeking smaller gold denominations. Its combination of fine gold purity, government-backed issuance, and distinctive annual design gives it a distinct profile within the broader market for fractional gold coins.
The Perth Mint launched its Gold Lunar Series I in 1996 with the Year of the Rat, introducing a twelve-coin program that would run through 2007 and conclude with the Year of the Pig. The series was among the first government-issued bullion programs to consistently incorporate detailed, annually changing designs tied to the Chinese lunar calendar, a format that proved highly popular across both Eastern and Western markets.
The Perth Mint itself has operated since 1899 and originally functioned as a branch of the British Royal Mint. Over more than a century of continuous operation, it has built a reputation for precision refining and minting that few institutions in the world can match. Its .9999 gold purity standard, applied across the Lunar series, reflects a consistent commitment to producing coins that meet the highest benchmarks in both fineness and strike quality.
The 2007 Pig coin holds particular significance as the final release in Series I, closing out the full twelve-year zodiac cycle and making it a natural anchor piece for collectors who built the set from its inception. The completion of that cycle added a degree of retrospective demand that distinguishes the Pig from mid-series releases.
The reverse of the 2007 Lunar Pig features a detailed portrait of a pig set within a composition that reflects traditional Chinese artistic sensibility. The Perth Mint's engravers rendered the animal with considerable depth and texture, giving the design a level of sculptural quality that distinguishes the Lunar Series I coins from more utilitarian bullion strikes. The year of issue, metal weight, and purity are inscribed on the reverse alongside the Perth Mint's distinctive "P" mintmark.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a design used across Commonwealth coinage throughout this period. The portrait faces right and is encircled by the inscriptions identifying the coin as Australian legal tender. The interplay between the formal obverse portrait and the expressive, culturally rich reverse design is a hallmark of the Lunar series format and contributes to its broad collector appeal.
The coin is struck with a brilliant uncirculated finish, which preserves the sharpness of the engraving and gives the surface a clean, reflective quality. At the quarter-ounce scale, the precision of the strike is particularly visible in the finer details of the pig's features and surrounding design elements.
At a quarter troy ounce, this coin offers a lower entry point than the full one-ounce version while retaining the same .9999 purity and government-backed issuance. For buyers who want exposure to the Lunar Pig design without committing to a full-ounce acquisition, the fractional format provides a practical and proportionate alternative.
Fractional gold also serves a functional role for those who prefer to build holdings incrementally or who want pieces that are easier to transact in smaller increments. The 1/4 oz size is one of the most recognized fractional gold denominations globally, which supports its usability in both collector and resale contexts.
Every coin in our inventory is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. The Perth Mint is one of the most trusted government minting institutions in the world, and its .9999 fine gold standard is applied with consistent precision across its entire Lunar series output. The "P" mintmark on the coin's reverse is an identifying feature of Perth Mint production and a key reference point for authentication.
We are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, which means coins requiring third-party grading can be processed through those services with the confidence that comes from established dealer relationships. For raw brilliant uncirculated coins like this one, the combination of Perth Mint production standards and our own verification process ensures that what arrives is exactly what is described.
This coin is graded Brilliant Uncirculated, meaning it has not been circulated and retains its original mint-struck surfaces and finish. BU coins from the Perth Mint are struck to a standard that prioritizes sharpness and surface integrity, and this condition designation confirms the coin has not been subject to wear or handling damage that would detract from its appearance or collectibility.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip that safeguards the surfaces during transit. A standard tube of Perth Mint 1/4 oz Lunar coins typically holds twenty-five pieces, and orders at that quantity ship in a sealed tube. Larger bulk quantities ship in sealed boxes consistent with Perth Mint's standard outer packaging. Regardless of quantity, packaging is selected to protect the coin's condition from the point of fulfillment through delivery.
The price of this coin is derived from the current spot price of gold, adjusted for the premium associated with its fractional size, limited mintage, and collector relevance as the final coin in Lunar Series I. Fractional gold coins consistently carry higher premiums per troy ounce than their full-ounce counterparts, reflecting the greater production cost per unit of metal and the persistent retail demand for lower-denomination gold pieces.
The Series I Pig benefits from additional premium support due to its status as the concluding coin in a complete twelve-year cycle. Collector demand for this specific date tends to be more concentrated than for earlier mid-series releases, which can influence both acquisition cost and resale dynamics. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to provide clear, current cost-of-ownership information rather than obscuring the true economics of the transaction.
The Perth Mint's Gold Lunar series is globally recognized, and the 2007 Pig in particular benefits from its role as the final Series I release. Standardized weight and .9999 purity make it straightforward to value and transact across the broader secondary market, where both collectors and bullion buyers are active participants. Its numismatic relevance, combined with its metal content, gives it a broader base of potential buyers than many fractional gold coins.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform. Customers can reference our competitive buyback pricing before making a purchase, which we consider an essential part of evaluating any precious metals transaction. Understanding the expected resale side of a trade at the time of acquisition provides a more honest picture of the full cost of ownership.
The 2007 Lunar Pig occupies a specific and well-defined place in the Series I program: it is the final coin in the cycle, which gives it a completionist significance that purely bullion-focused fractional gold coins do not carry. Collectors who built the Series I set from 1996 treat this date as the capstone piece, and that concentrated demand creates a dynamic that distinguishes it from comparable fractional coins with no series context.
Beyond its collector profile, the coin's .9999 gold purity and government-backed legal tender status give it the same fundamental credibility as any Perth Mint gold issue. The quarter-ounce format adds accessibility without sacrificing recognizability, and the Perth Mint's production quality ensures that the design is rendered with the precision that collectors expect from a coin of this caliber.
We built this platform on the belief that pricing transparency and honest market information are the foundation of a trustworthy precious metals dealer. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display bid/ask spreads directly on product pages so customers can evaluate the full transaction rather than just the purchase price. That transparency is not a feature we added later; it is central to how we operate.
Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect a consistent standard of professionalism across more than a decade of operation. Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity. We source from reputable mints, refineries, and established distributors, and our commitment to product integrity is backed by institutional relationships rather than unverifiable claims.
Our two-way market model means we are not simply a place to buy. Customers can sell back into the same ecosystem using competitive wholesale-based pricing, which makes liquidity a practical reality rather than a theoretical consideration. We believe that matters as much as the purchase price itself.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on coins like this 1/4 oz Lunar Pig, allowing them to see how the product is priced at the wholesale level in real time. Rather than relying on static retail pricing, Pro members can evaluate the current bid/ask spread, track how premiums on this specific coin compare to historical norms, and use proprietary analytics to better understand how supply, demand, and liquidity influence pricing on fractional gold coins and collector-driven series like Lunar Series I.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live executable wholesale bid pricing, which means holdings are valued based on current liquidation-level market prices rather than estimated retail figures. For collectors managing a complete Series I set or a mixed fractional gold position, that distinction provides a materially more accurate picture of where their portfolio stands at any point in time.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the purchasing experience as straightforward as possible. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency through BitPay. Each option is supported by secure transaction infrastructure designed to protect customer information and order integrity throughout the process.
Whether you are completing a single fractional purchase or closing out a full series with the Lunar Pig, the payment experience is designed to be direct, flexible, and free of unnecessary friction. Security and convenience are treated as equal priorities, not competing ones.
