| Additional information |
China's lunar silver kilo series has been issued annually since the 1990s, but the 2019 Pig issue carries particular commercial weight — the Year of the Pig is considered the most auspicious of the twelve-year cycle for wealth and prosperity, driving collector demand well above neighboring years in the series. Mintages on these kilos are controlled tightly by the People's Bank, and secondary market premiums reflect it.
The .999 fine standard was adopted for this series after earlier lunar issues used .900, a change that repositioned them firmly in the bullion-collector crossover market rather than the purely numismatic one.
