The 2019 1/4 oz Australia Gold Lunar Pig is a fractional gold coin struck by The Perth Mint as part of the second installment of the Australian Lunar Series II program. Composed of .9999 fine gold and weighing a quarter troy ounce, this coin carries legal tender status under Australian law, backed by the federal government of Australia. It is part of one of the most recognized and collected lunar coin programs in the world, with the Pig representing the twelfth and final year of the 12-year Series II zodiac cycle.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, struck to the exacting standards for which the Perth Mint is globally known. The combination of high gold purity, fractional weight, and limited annual mintage makes it a distinctive piece within the broader landscape of sovereign gold coinage.

We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, struck to the exacting standards for which the Perth Mint is globally known. The combination of high gold purity, fractional weight, and limited annual mintage makes it a distinctive piece within the broader landscape of sovereign gold coinage.
The Perth Mint introduced the Australian Lunar Series I in 1996, launching a 12-year program celebrating the animals of the Chinese zodiac. The success of that series led to the launch of Lunar Series II in 2008, featuring refined designs, improved production standards, and expanded size offerings ranging from fractional weights to multi-kilogram coins. Each year in the cycle corresponds to a different zodiac animal, and 2019 marks the Year of the Pig, completing the full 12-year rotation of Series II.
The Perth Mint itself has operated since 1899 and is one of the oldest and most respected government minting facilities in the world. Originally established as a branch of the British Royal Mint, it has operated under the government of Western Australia since 1970 and is recognized internationally as a premier producer of high-purity gold, silver, and platinum bullion products. The Lunar series stands as one of its most enduring and commercially significant annual releases.
The reverse of the 2019 Lunar Pig coin features a detailed rendering of a pig set against a stylized natural background, a design approach consistent with the Series II aesthetic of combining animal portraiture with refined artistic composition. The year of issue, metal weight, and purity are inscribed on the reverse, reinforcing the coin's identity without cluttering the design.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coinage during this period. The Queen's likeness is accompanied by the coin's face value denomination and the country of issue. The overall finish on Brilliant Uncirculated examples is clean and sharp, with the contrast between design elements and field surfaces reflecting the quality expected from Perth Mint production.
At a quarter troy ounce, this coin offers direct exposure to gold at a lower entry point compared to full-ounce alternatives. For buyers who want to add recognized sovereign gold to a collection without committing to the cost of a full ounce, the 1/4 oz format provides a practical and tangible option. It is also useful for those building a diversified holding across multiple sizes or years within the Lunar series.
Fractional gold coins do carry a higher premium per ounce relative to their full-ounce counterparts, which reflects the fixed production costs spread across a smaller metal content. Buyers should factor this into their overall cost basis when comparing across weight categories within the Lunar program or against other fractional gold options.
The Perth Mint produces this coin to .9999 fine gold, one of the highest purity standards in sovereign coin production. Each coin is struck using refined dies and quality-controlled blanks consistent with the mint's internationally recognized production protocols. The mint's reputation for precision and consistency is a key reason its products maintain strong recognition across global bullion markets.
Every coin we offer is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain the standards and industry relationships required to handle and authenticate numismatic and bullion products with confidence. The Perth Mint's track record and the coin's clearly stamped specifications further support straightforward verification in any resale context.
Brilliant Uncirculated, often abbreviated as BU, describes coins that have been struck for quality and show no signs of circulation wear. These coins are produced with care at the mint level and retain sharp design detail and clean surfaces consistent with an uncirculated grade. Minor contact marks from mint handling or packaging can occasionally appear on BU coins and are not considered defects within the grade standard.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface condition during transit. The Perth Mint typically packages 1/4 oz Lunar gold coins in tubes of 25, and tubes ship accordingly when that quantity is ordered. Larger orders may ship in sealed outer packaging consistent with mint production quantities. Packaging is designed to maintain coin integrity from the time it leaves our facility through delivery.
The price of this coin moves directly with the spot price of gold, with a premium layered on top to reflect production costs, the coin's sovereign status, series collectibility, and the Perth Mint's global brand recognition. Premiums on fractional Lunar coins tend to run higher per ounce than those on full-ounce versions, a standard characteristic across the fractional gold market driven by the ratio of fixed production costs to metal content.
Year-specific Lunar coins can also see premium fluctuations tied to collector demand, particularly for zodiac years with symbolic significance or limited production totals. The Pig, as the concluding animal of the 12-year Series II cycle, holds a distinct position within the complete collection. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to provide clarity rather than confusion around how the final number is reached.
Perth Mint gold coins, and Lunar Series pieces in particular, are widely traded across dealer networks, auction platforms, and private markets globally. The combination of .9999 purity, government issuance, and clearly stamped specifications makes these coins straightforward to identify and price in resale contexts. The Lunar series has a dedicated collector base that creates demand beyond purely metal-weight buyers, which can support secondary market interest over time.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform. Customers who want to sell back their coins can do so using our competitive buyback pricing rather than navigating separate resale channels. We believe liquidity should be part of the purchasing decision, not an afterthought, and our model is built to reflect that from both sides of the transaction.
The 2019 Lunar Pig occupies a specific place in the Series II program as the final year of the 12-year zodiac cycle. For collectors who have followed the series, the Pig completes the set and carries the added significance that comes with that position. For buyers focused primarily on the metal, the coin delivers .9999 fine gold from one of the world's most respected sovereign mints in a recognized and globally traded format.
The 1/4 oz size makes this coin accessible to a wider range of buyers and allows for more granular allocation across a physical gold holding. Its combination of artistic quality, Perth Mint craftsmanship, and the cultural resonance of the Chinese zodiac tradition gives it broader appeal than standard bullion coins of equivalent weight.
We have built our business since 2010 on a straightforward principle: transparency creates trust, and trust keeps customers coming back. Our pricing reflects live market conditions, our buyback pricing is competitive, and we do not use high-pressure tactics or obscure fee structures to complicate what should be a clear transaction. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association.
As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we handle and authenticate products to rigorous standards. We source coins from reputable mints and established distribution channels, and every product we ship is verified before it goes out. Our support team is knowledgeable, accessible, and focused on giving customers the information they need rather than the pressure they do not. From the moment you place an order to the moment it arrives, the experience is designed to be reliable, transparent, and straightforward.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including fractional sovereign coins like this one. Rather than relying on static retail price points, Pro members see how products are actually priced and traded at the wholesale level in real time. For a product like the 1/4 oz Lunar Pig, where premiums can shift based on collector demand, series completion dynamics, and broader market conditions, having visibility into live pricing data provides a more complete picture than spot price alone.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid prices, along with proprietary research tools that allow you to compare premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across products. These tools are designed to support more informed buying and selling decisions by replacing assumptions with observable, objective market data.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each option is integrated into a secure transaction environment designed to protect your information and give you confidence at checkout.
Whether you prefer traditional payment methods or digital alternatives, we have built the checkout process to accommodate your preference without adding friction. Security and convenience are not trade-offs in how we approach payment, and that extends to every stage of the transaction.
