Product Details

Perfection in Material and Craftsmanship

The coin is struck from one ounce of 999.9 fine gold in proof quality. The interplay of a flawless surface and brilliantly satin-finished design elements creates a visual presence that captivates at first glance. Its diameter of 32.60 millimeters provides an impressive stage on which the engraving artistry of The Perth Mint can truly shine.

Each coin is struck under strictly controlled conditions, ensuring that even the finest lines appear crystal clear. Authenticity is permanently guaranteed by the numbered certificate and the original presentation case.

Superior Fact:
The Perth Mint uses precise engraving techniques for its proof gold coins, enabling the creation of ultra-fine structures at the micrometer level.

Motif and Design

Aesthetic Depiction of a Powerful Symbol

The motif features a tiger standing on a rock, revealing its strength in a dynamic pose. Its open mouth exposes impressive teeth, while the muscles of its body emerge in a fine interplay of light and shadow. The engraving creates a vivid image that seems to lift the animal’s energy directly from the gold, and the linework appears precise yet natural, powerfully reflecting the tiger’s character.

The motif is complemented by the Chinese character for tiger, the inscription TIGER 2022 and The Perth Mint’s mintmark P. The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the coin’s denomination, and its purity, completing the sophisticated gold coin design.

Historical and Cultural Background

Tradition and Symbolism in the Chinese Zodiac

The Lunar series from The Perth Mint is based on the Chinese zodiac, whose twelve animals have played a significant role in mythology and culture for centuries. The tiger is considered the king of the animals and symbolizes courage, leadership, and strong determination.

People born under the sign of the tiger are regarded as sensitive, thoughtful, and highly goal-oriented. This Lunar III tiger coin pays tribute to these characteristics in an impressive way, making the 2022 edition particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of Chinese zodiac coins.

Exclusivity and Investment Value

Limited Rarity with Long-Term Potential

The low mintage of only 1,000 pieces creates high demand among collectors and investors who prefer exclusive gold coins. The combination of 999.9 gold, proof quality, and the popular tiger motif results in a coin that embodies both emotional and financial value.

Thanks to its cultural significance and the high quality of The Perth Mint, this 1 oz gold coin offers sustainable growth potential. Secure one of the few available pieces of this limited coin before it sells out and benefit from its strong collector’s value.

Special Features

Tangible Substance and Refined Collecting Experience

With its one-ounce weight, the coin conveys a powerful and well-balanced feel in the hand. The fine gold provides an exceptionally pleasant tactile sensation, enhancing the experience of holding it. The visual depth of the proof finish amplifies this impression, turning every viewing into a sensory moment. Its weight also positively contributes to price stability, making this gold bullion coin a compelling piece both emotionally and financially.

Gold of this purity has been a valued investment for generations. Collectors and investors alike appreciate the combination of aesthetic appeal, tangible asset security, and long-term value stability.

What Makes This Coin Special?

As the third edition of the Lunar III series, it combines the dynamic tiger symbol with strict mintage limits and the highest production quality. The blend of characteristic motif, precise execution, and finest gold gives this edition a distinctive identity within the series.

The coin’s limited mintage, its connection to the Year of the Tiger, and the reputation of The Perth Mint make it a standout highlight in any collection and a sought-after premium gold coin on the international market.
