Product Details

Finest gold quality in masterful execution

The weight of a quarter ounce creates a remarkable balance of noble presence and high flexibility within any collection. The purity of 999.9 gold gives the coin an intense brilliance that becomes visible even in minimal light. The diameter of 20.60 millimeters allows for precise depiction of even the smallest engraving details. The proof quality results in mirror-like surfaces that clearly contrast with the matte structures of the motif, giving the tiger impressive depth. Each coin is produced with great care within The Perth Mint’s traditional manufacturing processes, whose expertise has stood for technical perfection for generations.

Motif and Design

Expressive visual power of an iconic zodiac sign

The motif shows a tiger standing on a rugged rock, its posture radiating courage and alertness. The open mouth reveals sharply contoured teeth, which appear especially lifelike thanks to the mirror finish of the proof strike. The flow of the fur’s lines follows a harmonious interplay of matte areas and bright reflections. The Chinese character for Tiger complements the composition and creates an elegant connection between myth and modern design. The reverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with finely crafted proportions, further underscoring the numismatic authenticity.

Historical and Cultural Background

Symbolism of the tiger in Asian culture

The tiger holds a special place within the Chinese zodiac. Those born in its years are considered courageous, determined, intuitive and inwardly powerful. Its position as king of the animals in the Asian region goes back to millennia-old traditions in which strength and protection held central significance. The Perth Mint’s Lunar series dedicates a unique numismatic tribute to each animal of this calendar, creating a continuous connection between cultural heritage and modern precious metal artistry.
