The 2007 2 oz Australian Gold Lunar Pig is a large-format bullion coin struck by The Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold. It carries a face value of 200 Australian dollars, giving it legal tender status under Australian law, and represents the final release in the first Lunar Series honoring the traditional Chinese zodiac calendar. At two troy ounces, this coin occupies a distinctive position in the Lunar program, offering substantially more gold content than the standard one-ounce issue while maintaining the same level of minting craftsmanship.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which reflects the standard production grade for Perth Mint bullion releases. Its combination of recognized purity, significant weight, and thematic subject matter makes it a coin that collectors and gold buyers alike tend to seek out deliberately rather than as a substitute for a smaller denomination.

At two troy ounces, this coin occupies a distinctive position in the Lunar program, offering substantially more gold content than the standard one-ounce issue while maintaining the same level of minting craftsmanship.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which reflects the standard production grade for Perth Mint bullion releases. Its combination of recognized purity, significant weight, and thematic subject matter makes it a coin that collectors and gold buyers alike tend to seek out deliberately rather than as a substitute for a smaller denomination.
The Perth Mint introduced the Australian Lunar Series I in 1996, with each annual release featuring a different animal from the Chinese zodiac in a twelve-year cycle. The Pig, representing the final sign in the zodiac rotation, was struck in 2007 to close out the series. That completion created a natural point of finality for the program, and demand for the Pig issue has historically reflected its position as the concluding coin in a set that many collectors pursued from the beginning.
The Perth Mint itself is one of the oldest and most respected sovereign mints in the world, having operated since 1899 as part of the Royal Mint system. It is owned by the Government of Western Australia and is well known for producing coins to some of the tightest tolerances in the industry. The Lunar Series I helped establish the Perth Mint's reputation in the Asian collector market and contributed to the global demand that made the program a long-running commercial success, eventually leading to the launch of Lunar Series II in 2008 and Lunar Series III in 2020.
Because the entire twelve-coin set is finite and no additional Pig coins will be struck under the Series I program, the supply of this issue is limited to what was originally produced. That fixed production context distinguishes it from ongoing bullion programs where annual mintages continue to expand supply.
The reverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of a pig in a naturalistic pose, rendered with the sculpting precision that Perth Mint artisans are known for. The design incorporates Chinese cultural symbolism alongside the year of issue and the coin's weight, purity, and denomination, all cleanly engraved into the composition. The overall aesthetic reflects the balance the Perth Mint consistently strikes between artistic expression and the functional clarity expected of a sovereign bullion issue.
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 portrait faces right and is accompanied by inscriptions identifying the issuing authority and face value. The contrast between the detailed reverse design and the more formal obverse creates a visual tension that has long made the Lunar series appealing to both bullion buyers and design-focused collectors.
At two ounces, the coin has a larger physical diameter than the standard one-ounce issue, which allows the pig design to be rendered with greater intricacy and surface detail. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish preserves the sharpness of those relief details without the frosted devices and mirrored fields characteristic of proof strikes.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint to a declared purity of .9999 fine gold, meeting the standard for four-nines gold that is recognized in virtually every major bullion market worldwide. The Perth Mint's quality controls are among the most rigorous applied by any sovereign mint, and its coins are accepted without question in professional dealer networks, exchanges, and secondary market transactions globally.
We verify all products for authenticity, weight, and purity before they reach our customers. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we also have direct access to third-party grading and certification services for customers who want additional documentation of their coin's condition. The combination of Perth Mint provenance and our own authentication standards means buyers can proceed with confidence in both the metal content and the coin's overall integrity.
Brilliant Uncirculated, often abbreviated BU, describes coins that have been struck for general distribution rather than proof presentation but have not entered circulation. BU coins retain full mint luster and sharp strike definition. They may show minor contact marks or bag marks from handling during production and packaging, which is normal for this grade and does not indicate any deficiency in the coin's metal content or minting quality.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to prevent surface contact during transit. The Perth Mint typically packages the 2 oz gold Lunar coins in individual capsules or presentation packaging at the mint level; however, the specific configuration you receive will be noted at the time of purchase. For larger quantity orders, packaging follows standard bulk formats appropriate to the product size. We set clear expectations before fulfillment so there are no surprises when your order arrives.
The price of this coin is tied directly to the current spot price of gold, with a premium applied above that baseline. The premium on a 2 oz Perth Mint Lunar Pig reflects several converging factors: the cost of producing a large-format coin to .9999 purity, the thematic and series significance of the Pig as the closing issue of Lunar Series I, and the finite supply created by a closed program that will not see additional mintages. These factors tend to support a premium that is higher than what you would find on standard bullion-grade sovereign coins of equivalent weight.
Our pricing updates in real time to reflect current spot market conditions, so the price you see on the product page reflects the actual market at the moment of purchase. We structure premiums to be transparent and consistent, without layering in complexity that obscures the actual cost of acquiring the coin.
The 2 oz Australian Gold Lunar Pig benefits from the broad international recognition that Perth Mint products carry in the secondary market. Dealers, collectors, and bullion buyers familiar with the Lunar Series I understand the significance of this particular release, and that familiarity supports resale activity across a range of venues. The .9999 purity standard and the Perth Mint's global reputation mean the underlying gold content is accepted without hesitation in professional trading environments.
We operate a two-way market, which means we both sell and buy products like this one. Customers considering a purchase can evaluate current buyback pricing on our platform before committing, which provides a more complete picture of the total cost of ownership rather than leaving liquidity as an unknown until the time of sale.
This coin occupies a specific and well-defined position in the market. It is the closing issue of a twelve-year series from one of the world's most respected sovereign mints, struck in .9999 fine gold at a two-ounce weight that commands attention both for its physical presence and its metal content. Unlike coins from open-ended bullion programs, the Pig cannot be restruck, which makes existing supply the only supply.
The two-ounce format also offers a meaningful alternative to buying two separate one-ounce coins. The design is presented at a larger scale, the coin is a single unified piece with documented provenance from the Perth Mint, and it carries legal tender status under Australian law. For buyers who are building a complete Lunar Series I set or simply want a large-format gold coin with a clear narrative, this release delivers on both counts.
We have been operating as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our reputation is built on transparent pricing, reliable fulfillment, and a buying experience that treats customers as informed adults rather than targets for upselling. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects years of consistent follow-through, and our memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect our commitment to professional standards within the industry.
As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we can support customers who want coins certified for condition or authenticity. Every product we carry is verified before it reaches you. We believe the full transaction deserves transparency, which is why we display both buying and selling pricing on our product pages. That two-way market model is central to how we operate and reflects a genuine commitment to supporting customers on both sides of the transaction.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of precious metals products, including large-format coins like the 2 oz Gold Lunar Pig. Rather than relying on retail price estimates, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups applied on top of the underlying wholesale rate. For a coin where the premium above spot is a meaningful part of the purchase decision, having direct visibility into executable wholesale pricing provides a more accurate picture of where the market actually stands.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation based on live wholesale bid prices, proprietary market intelligence tools, and product research capabilities that allow members to compare premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity across the broader catalog. For collectors and buyers tracking the full Lunar Series I or evaluating large-format gold coins relative to one another, these tools provide the kind of objective, data-driven context that makes it easier to act with confidence.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure.
