Australia's Lunar coin program has run in two distinct series, with the Royal Australian Mint operating its own parallel issues alongside the Perth Mint's better-known silver kilo releases. The 2019 circulation-quality dollar marks the Year of the Pig in the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar — the final year in the twelve-year zodiac cycle before it resets with the Rat in 2020. Chinese-Australian communities, particularly concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne, have driven consistent collector demand for these annual issues since the program's inception.
