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.
