The final 2 oz release in Perth Mint's Lunar Series II, the 2019 2 oz Australian Lunar Year of the Pig Silver Coin, is now available at SD Bullion. You can complete your Lunar Series II Silver Coin collections while adding pure silver, a known name, and gorgeous designs to your precious metals portfolios.

Featuring an annually changing design, the silver coins released in this program are extremely popular. This popularity stems from the brilliant designs in each year’s release and the backing of the Australian government, in addition to Perth Mint’s reputation as a top-notch minting facility.

Perth Mint has been celebrating the Chinese calendar and the animals in the Chinese zodiac since 1999, when it introduced the Lunar Series I. This series featured 12 coins, each highlighting the animal influencing the release year. Similarly, the Lunar Series II will also come to a close with this final 12th release.

Each of these coins contains 2 troy ounces of 0.9999 pure silver. Moreover, the Australian Government backs these coins and recognizes them as legal tender with face values of $2 (AUD).

An adorable portrayal of a Pig on the coins' reverses ushers in a brand-new year, 2019 -- the Chinese Year of the Pig. On the other hand, the obverses display the familiar rendition of Queen Elizabeth II's portrait that was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. This image is a common feature on all Australian legal tender coinage.

These 2019 2 oz Year of the Pig Silver Coins from Perth Mint are invaluable to collectors who want to complete their set of Lunar Series II silver coins. Furthermore, these coins’ 0.9999 pure silver content makes them excellent investments – diversifying precious metals portfolios to shield against sudden market fluctuations.
