| Additional information |
Macao's lunar series patacas are issued under the Monetary Authority rather than struck for general circulation, making them de facto bullion commemoratives with a collector premium baked in from inception. The 2019 Pig issue corresponds to the Year of the Hai in the sexagenary cycle — the twelfth and final animal in the Chinese zodiac sequence, which resets afterward to the Rat.
At 155.5 g, this is a five-troy-ounce piece, a format that became increasingly standard for Asian lunar issues competing for the collector market against Perth Mint and Royal Mint equivalents in the late 2010s.
