| Additional information |
Australia's lunar bullion series has run in two full twelve-year cycles since 1996, with the Perth Mint issuing each animal year in multiple sizes and frostings. The 2019 Pig lands in the second cycle, which shifted to Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II — adopted for Australian coinage in 1998 — rather than the Maklouf effigy used through the first cycle. Mintages for the half-troy-ounce lunar issues are capped but not always fully subscribed, and the Perth Mint does not retroactively disclose unsold inventory destruction, making precise population data genuinely difficult to establish.
