| Additional information |
Australia's lunar series from the Perth Mint ran on a strict one-year-only mintage policy, with each animal issue officially retired at year's end — a deliberately enforced scarcity that distinguished the program from the Royal Australian Mint's more openly produced bullion. The 2007 Pig issue marked the final year of the first full twelve-year lunar cycle the Perth Mint had completed, closing a series that began in 1996 with the Year of the Rat.
The five-ounce format carried a mintage ceiling of 2,000 pieces globally.
