The Lunar Series II collection from the Perth Mint features the same diversity and variety available in previous issues in the series. The Australian Gold Pig Coins from the mint include four fractional weights of 1/20, 1/10, 1/4, and 1/2 oz. Above those weights, the bullion coins are available in 1 oz, 2 oz, 10 oz, and 1 Kilo gold weights.
In addition to the popular bullion coins in the series, the Perth Mint also offers limited-mintage proof coins. The Proof Australian Gold Pig Coins are available in 1 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold individual options, as well as a three-coin set. The 2019 1/4 oz Australian Gold Pig Coins have an unlimited mintage, with the Perth Mint set to strike the coins until the end of 2019 as long as demand persists.
On the reverse face of the 2019 Australian Gold Pig Coin is the new Year of the Pig design from Ing Ing Jong. Jong has created the designs in this series since 2013, and her new Year of the Pig design includes a single adult pig with natural foliage in the background and an engraving of the Chinese symbol for pig.
The obverse side of the 2019 1/4 oz Australian Gold Pig Coin continues with the use of the fourth-generation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Though other major Perth Mint bullion collections are transitioning to the new Jody Clark, fifth-generation design, Perth continues the use of the Ian Rank-Broadley design from 1998 on the Lunar Series II collection.
These 2019 1/4 oz Australian Gold Pig Coins come in individual protective capsules or sealed rolls of 20 coins, with all coins available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
