Australia's Lunar Series II ran from 2008 through 2019, with the Pig closing out the twelve-year cycle. Perth produced these in strictly limited mintages — the 1/4 oz gold denomination was capped at 8,888 pieces, a figure chosen deliberately for its resonance in Chinese numerology, where eight signals prosperity. The series was conceived explicitly to capture collector demand in mainland China, Hong Kong, and the Chinese diaspora markets, and it succeeded commercially well beyond initial projections.
The 8,888 mintage ceiling is not incidental — it doubles as a marketing instrument and a mintage control, and Perth has held to it consistently across the series.
