The final silver coin release in Perth Mint's Lunar Series II is now available at SD Bullion! These 2019 1 oz Australian Lunar Year of the Pig will add immense value to both coin collections and precious metals portfolios as the final piece of a successful coin series.

The Chinese calendar follows a 12-year cycle according to the Chinese zodiac, each year influenced by a specific animal. The Lunar Series II Coins celebrates each animal in the zodiac, releasing a coin with a different design depending on the animal being honored. These coins are struck in various weights of 0.9999 pure silver and also carry legal tender status – highlighting the backing of the Australian Government.

Each of these coins is struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.9999 pure silver. Moreover, they're recognized as legal tender in Australia with a face value of $1 (AUD).

The obverses bear Ian Rank-Broadley's version of Queen Elizabeth II -- consistent with all other legal tender in the country. However, it is the reverses that make every release in this coin program unique and sought after. This year it features the portrayal of a pig to usher in the Chinese Lunar Year of the Pig in style.

The Lunar Series II Silver Coin program culminates with this 2019 launch -- making it an integral part of this illustrious series that will be a mainstay in any coin collection. Grab the 2019 1 oz Australian Lunar Year of the Pig Silver Coins struck by Perth Mint today!

As there are a total of 12 animals in the zodiac, the Lunar Series II Silver Coin program will soon come to a close with the launch of the Year of the Pig Gold Coins in 2019. Collectors missing the 2018 Year of the Dog Gold Coins from their Lunar Series II sets should snag them as soon as possible; stocks will only dwindle due to limited mintages.
