Every 2019 Year of the Pig dollar carries the design that closed out the Perth Mint's twelve-year Lunar Series II, the zodiac run collectors have followed since the Mouse in 2008. These are legal tender of Australia, struck by the Perth Mint in one full troy ounce of .9999 fine silver with a face value of 1 Dollar and a worldwide mintage limit of 300,000 coins. Each arrives in its original mint capsule, which protects the broad 45.60 mm surfaces from handling marks.

The reverse presents a sow standing in profile with four piglets gathered at her feet, a leafy branch arcing overhead and the Chinese character for pig at the left. Perth's engravers gave the sow a bristled, textured coat that stands out against the frosted field, and the Perth "P" mintmark sits at the right above the inscription YEAR OF THE PIG. The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II encircled by ELIZABETH II and AUSTRALIA, with the weight and purity marking 1 OZ 9999 Ag at the left, the 2019 date below, and the 1 DOLLAR denomination at the right.

Lunar Series II issues are capped at a fixed mintage and never restruck, and the Pig is the twelfth and final date, which makes it the coin collectors need to complete the full zodiac set. Beyond that appeal, each piece delivers a recognized sovereign purity standard, a large-format design on a 45.60 mm planchet, and the broad dealer acceptance that comes with Perth Mint silver. If you are building a position in government-minted silver with a collector following behind it, the Lunar Series is a sound place to put it.
