| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's lunar series has been running since 1996, making the 2019 Pig the penultimate issue of Lunar Series II before its conclusion with the 2020 Rat. Each animal in Series II was struck to a fixed mintage of 8,000 pieces at this 5 oz size — a cap that holds regardless of secondary market demand, which is not always the case with Perth's smaller denominations in the same program.
The Pig holds specific cultural weight in the Chinese zodiac cycle: those born under it are considered financially fortunate, which historically drives stronger buying pressure for this particular year's bullion issues from collectors across Southeast Asia.
