The 2019 1 Kilo Australia Silver Lunar Pig is one of the most substantial releases in The Perth Mint's celebrated Lunar Series II program. Struck from one kilogram of .999 fine silver, this coin weighs 32.15 troy ounces and carries legal tender status under Australian law. Its combination of significant silver content, artistic depth, and limited annual mintage makes it a well-recognized piece in the broader silver market.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the high-quality strike standards The Perth Mint consistently applies to its flagship lunar releases. The kilo format occupies a distinct position in the market, bridging the gap between standard one-ounce collector coins and large-format silver bars.
The Perth Mint launched Lunar Series II in 2008, building on the legacy of the original Lunar Series I that ran from 1996 through 2007. Each annual release in the series corresponds to a sign of the Chinese zodiac, completing a 12-year cycle with the 2019 Year of the Pig.

The Perth Mint launched Lunar Series II in 2008, building on the legacy of the original Lunar Series I that ran from 1996 through 2007. Each annual release in the series corresponds to a sign of the Chinese zodiac, completing a 12-year cycle with the 2019 Year of the Pig. The Pig is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac cycle, making this release a meaningful bookend to the entire Series II program.
The Perth Mint, established in 1899 and operating under the Gold Corporation of Western Australia, is one of the most respected sovereign minting facilities in the world. Its Lunar series coins have built a consistent following over more than two decades, driven by the combination of artistic quality, changing annual designs, and government-backed production standards.
The Year of the Pig holds particular cultural significance in Chinese tradition, symbolizing abundance, diligence, and good fortune. The 2019 release benefited from strong collector and gift-giving demand across Asian markets and the broader international bullion community, both of which supported interest in the kilo format throughout its release year.
The reverse of this coin features a richly detailed depiction of a pig set within a naturalistic scene, with fine engraving capturing texture and movement in a way that distinguishes Perth Mint lunar releases from more utilitarian bullion coins. The composition incorporates traditional symbolic elements referencing the Chinese lunar calendar, along with inscriptions noting the year of issue, metal weight, and purity. The design was produced under the artistic direction of The Perth Mint and reflects the elevated standard the series has maintained throughout its run.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coinage during this period. The portrait is surrounded by inscriptions identifying the coin's face value and country of issue. On a coin of this size, the obverse provides a grounded counterpoint to the more elaborate reverse composition.
At the kilo scale, the design details carry a physical presence that smaller denominations cannot replicate. The larger canvas allows the engraving depth and surface contrast to be appreciated in a way that makes the coin visually compelling even outside of a collector context.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint to .999 fine silver purity and 32.15 troy ounces in weight, adhering to the production specifications that define the Lunar Series II program. The Perth Mint's reputation for precision and consistency is well established, and its quality controls reflect decades of sovereign minting experience. Every coin bearing the Perth Mint's "P" mintmark carries the accountability of a government-backed facility operating under rigorous standards.
We verify authenticity, weight, and purity on products we handle, and we source from reputable mints, refineries, and authorized distributors. As an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain relationships with the leading grading services in the numismatic industry, which allows us to support customers who choose to have coins professionally certified after purchase.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it was struck with a standard bullion finish and shows no evidence of circulation or handling wear. BU coins from The Perth Mint are struck to a consistent standard that collectors and bullion buyers have come to expect from the Lunar series. The classification reflects both the quality of the strike and the care taken in handling the coin after production.
Individual 1 kilo coins typically ship in a protective capsule or plastic flip, which preserves the coin's surface during storage and transit. The Perth Mint commonly packages kilo coins individually with a certificate of authenticity, and where original mint packaging is present, we take care to preserve it. Buyers should expect the coin to arrive securely packaged and protected against contact marks from transit.
Pricing for this coin is based on the current silver spot price multiplied by its 32.15 troy ounce weight, with a premium reflecting the coin's status as a sovereign-minted collector piece. Kilo coins from The Perth Mint typically carry a higher premium than standard one-ounce bullion coins due to the complexity of production, the limited annual mintage, and the collector demand associated with the Lunar series. The 2019 release benefits from its position as the final year of Series II, which has historically supported demand within the collector market.
Premiums on kilo lunar coins can shift over time as secondary market supply adjusts and collector interest evolves. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and we display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers can evaluate both the purchase cost and the expected resale value as part of a complete transaction picture.
The 2019 Perth Mint Silver Lunar Pig benefits from the global recognition of both the issuing mint and the Lunar series format. Coins struck by The Perth Mint to a defined weight and purity are widely accepted in the secondary market, and the Lunar series in particular maintains a consistent collector base that supports ongoing resale activity. The kilo format trades in a more specialized segment of the market compared to one-ounce coins, but demand from serious collectors and high-volume silver buyers provides meaningful liquidity.
We operate a two-way market, which means customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform using competitive buyback pricing. We believe liquidity should be part of the conversation before a purchase is made, not only at the point of sale. Our platform displays bid pricing alongside ask pricing so buyers can assess the complete cost of ownership from the outset.
The kilo format offers a fundamentally different ownership experience compared to fractional silver coins. Holding 32.15 ounces in a single, government-issued piece from one of the world's most respected mints carries a tangible weight and visual impact that standard bullion coins do not. For buyers who want to accumulate silver in fewer, more substantial pieces while maintaining collector-grade quality, the kilo lunar coin is a logical choice.
The Series II conclusion adds context that matters within the collector market. As the twelfth and final animal in the second Lunar cycle, the 2019 Pig represents a natural endpoint for collectors who have followed the series, and that narrative supports demand beyond what a mid-cycle release typically generates. The combination of large silver content, sovereign mintage, and series-completing status makes this a distinctive piece within the broader silver market.
We have been operating in the precious metals industry since 2010, and our approach has consistently prioritized transparency over pressure. Our pricing reflects live market conditions, and we display both buy and sell pricing on product pages so customers can evaluate the complete transaction rather than just the purchase price. We source products from reputable mints, refineries, and authorized distributors, and every product is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer.
We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As an authorized dealer for PCGS and NGC, we can support customers who want to pursue professional grading after purchase. Our payment options, support team, and fulfillment processes are all built around giving customers a straightforward, secure experience from order placement through delivery.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a wide range of products, including kilo silver coins like this one. Rather than working from static retail prices, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups layered on top. For a high-value piece like the 1 kilo Lunar Pig, where the dollar spread between bid and ask can be meaningful, that pricing efficiency matters in a concrete way.
Pro members also gain access to proprietary market intelligence tools including historical premium analysis, spread tracking, and liquidity metrics that help evaluate how a product like this has traded over time relative to current conditions. Portfolio holdings are valued using live executable wholesale bid pricing, providing a realistic picture of liquidation value rather than an optimistic retail estimate.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing straightforward and secure. Customers can complete transactions using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each option is integrated into a secure checkout environment designed to protect customer information and support a smooth transaction from start to finish.
For high-value purchases like the 1 kilo Lunar Pig, wire transfer is a practical option that can reduce processing friction, while cryptocurrency payments through BitPay offer an additional layer of flexibility for buyers who prefer that method. Regardless of how you choose to pay, the transaction experience is designed to be clear, efficient, and secure.
