Australia's Lunar Series I ran from 1996 through 2007, with the Pig closing out the twelve-year cycle. The Royal Australian Mint produced these in both base-metal and silver versions, the latter aimed squarely at the collector and bullion market that had grown substantially through the 1990s as Chinese-Australian communities embraced the coins as Lunar New Year gifts. The series effectively pioneered the now-crowded field of annual lunar bullion issues from sovereign mints worldwide.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, introduced in 1998, makes its final appearance on a Pig coin here before the series concluded.
