The 2019 1/10 oz Australian Gold Lunar Pig is a fractional gold coin issued by the Perth Mint as part of its long-running Lunar Series II program. Struck in .9999 fine gold and weighing one-tenth of a troy ounce, it carries legal tender status under Australian law with a face value of $15 AUD. The coin is produced to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, reflecting the Mint's commitment to sharp detail, consistent finish, and quality control across the series.
We carry this coin as part of our broader selection of Perth Mint products, drawing on sourcing relationships with established distributors and wholesalers to bring recognized sovereign coinage to our customers.
The Australian Lunar coin series began in 1996 under the Perth Mint, initially structured around a 12-year cycle corresponding to the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Lunar Series II launched in 2008 and ran through 2019, with the Pig serving as the final coin in the cycle. Each year's release features a new design tied to its respective zodiac animal, creating a natural collectibility across the series as a whole.

Each year's release features a new design tied to its respective zodiac animal, creating a natural collectibility across the series as a whole.
The Perth Mint is one of the world's most respected sovereign minting facilities, operating under the authority of the Western Australian government and with a history dating back to 1899. Its Lunar series coins are widely recognized across global bullion markets, supported by consistent minting standards and broad international distribution. The 2019 Pig issue marks the conclusion of Series II, giving it a degree of significance beyond any single-year release within the program.
The reverse of the 2019 Lunar Pig features a detailed depiction of a pig set against a backdrop that incorporates traditional design elements associated with the Chinese New Year. The composition is rendered with the fine relief and crisp definition characteristic of Perth Mint craftsmanship. The design includes the inscription "Year of the Pig," the coin's weight and purity, and the "P" privy mark identifying the Perth Mint as the issuing facility.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a standard feature across Australian legal tender coinage issued during this period. The portrait is accompanied by the face value and country of issue. Together, both sides reflect the balance between numismatic artistry and the standardized features expected of a sovereign bullion coin.
At one-tenth of a troy ounce, this coin offers a lower per-unit cost than full-ounce issues, making it a practical choice for buyers who want exposure to gold at a more manageable price point. Fractional gold is commonly used to diversify holdings across multiple pieces rather than concentrating value in fewer, larger coins.
The smaller format also lends itself well to gifting and selective accumulation. Buyers building a complete Lunar Series II set, or those focused specifically on the final year of the cycle, often seek fractional sizes as part of a broader collecting or holding strategy rather than as a standalone purchase.
Every 2019 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Pig we carry is struck by the Perth Mint to its published .9999 fine gold standard, one of the highest purity levels produced in sovereign coinage worldwide. The Mint's quality control processes are well established and internationally recognized, giving buyers a strong baseline of confidence in the coin's metal content and production accuracy.
As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to facilitate third-party grading for customers who want independent certification of a coin's condition and authenticity. All products that pass through our operation are verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before fulfillment, consistent with our overall sourcing and handling standards.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has not been placed into circulation and retains the full detail, luster, and surface quality imparted during the minting process. BU coins may show minor handling marks from the production and packaging process, which is standard for non-proof sovereign coinage and does not affect the coin's grade classification or metal content.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve their condition during transit. Tubes typically hold 10 coins for the 1/10 oz size, and larger sealed box quantities are available for buyers purchasing at higher volumes. If you are unsure of the packaging configuration for a specific order quantity, our team is available to clarify before purchase.
The price of the 2019 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Pig moves in direct correlation with the spot price of gold, which fluctuates continuously based on global market conditions. The premium above spot reflects a combination of factors specific to this coin, including fractional production costs, Perth Mint's reputation, the coin's status as the final issue in Lunar Series II, and overall demand within the collector and bullion markets.
Fractional gold coins generally carry higher premiums per troy ounce than their full-ounce counterparts due to the relatively greater cost of producing smaller pieces. For this coin in particular, the Series II conclusion adds a modest collectibility factor that can influence premium behavior beyond what standard bullion demand alone would suggest. Our pricing is structured around real-time spot data and is designed to reflect current market conditions transparently.
Perth Mint gold coins, including Lunar Series issues, are recognized across major bullion markets globally. The combination of .9999 purity, sovereign issuance, and the Mint's international standing makes these coins straightforward to trade through most established channels. The 1/10 oz size is particularly well known among both retail and wholesale buyers, which supports consistent demand at the point of resale.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform, allowing customers to act on either side of a transaction without navigating separate dealers. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product pages reflects live market conditions and gives you a clear picture of the full cost of ownership before committing to a purchase.
The 2019 Pig holds a distinct position within the Lunar Series II program as the final coin in a 12-year cycle. Buyers completing a full set, or those entering the market at the conclusion of the series, often view this coin with a different level of intentionality than a mid-cycle release. That context, combined with the Perth Mint's recognized production quality and the coin's .9999 gold purity, gives it appeal across both collector and bullion-focused audiences.
The 1/10 oz format makes it one of the more accessible entries into Perth Mint Lunar gold without requiring the capital commitment of a full-ounce piece. For buyers who prioritize sovereign-minted gold with consistent specifications and strong international recognition, this coin checks the relevant boxes in a compact and well-produced package.
We have been operating in the physical precious metals market since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparency, accurate pricing, and straightforward transactions. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association, and membership in the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every part of the business. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we bring professional grading relationships to customers who want independent certification alongside their purchase.
Our two-way market structure means you can both purchase and sell through the same platform, with competitive buyback pricing that reflects real wholesale market conditions rather than arbitrary retail markups. We accept a wide range of payment methods, provide responsive customer support, and fulfill orders reliably. The goal at every stage is to give you the information and access you need to make decisions with confidence, not pressure.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products including Perth Mint Lunar coins. Rather than relying on static retail price displays, Pro members see real-time pricing that reflects actual supply and demand conditions in the wholesale market. Portfolio valuations are updated using live wholesale bid prices, giving you a more accurate picture of current liquidation value rather than an estimated retail figure.
For a coin like the 2019 Lunar Pig, where both bullion and collectibility factors can influence premium behavior, having access to historical premium data, spread analysis, and liquidity metrics through Pro tools adds a meaningful layer of context. Understanding how premiums on this specific coin have moved over time, and how the current spread compares to broader market conditions, helps you evaluate the purchase with more complete information than spot price alone provides.
We support a broad range of payment methods to ensure the buying and selling process is both convenient and secure. Customers can complete purchases using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each payment method is processed through secure channels designed to protect your transaction from start to finish.
Whether you prefer the immediacy of a card payment or the cost efficiency of a wire transfer, the flexibility in our payment infrastructure is designed to accommodate how you prefer to transact. Security and convenience are built into every step of the checkout process.
