Product Details
Precision and purity in their most refined form
The coin is struck from one ounce of 999.9 gold in proof quality and reveals every line of the motif with exceptional clarity. Its diameter of 32.60 millimeters ensures an impressive presentation of the colored tiger design. The craftsmanship of the coin reveals a harmonious combination of intricately enhanced surfaces and precise engraving techniques typical of the Perth Mint. Authenticity and lasting value are underscored by the face value of 100 dollars and the certificate of authenticity.
Superior Fact:
The Perth Mint’s color application is carried out using a high-precision digital printing process in which multiple layers of color are applied sequentially to the mirror-polished surface and cured with UV light after each application. This creates exceptionally brilliant colors and remarkable detail fidelity.

Motif and Design
The expressive power of a majestic symbol
The motif features a vividly colored tiger standing on a rock. Its wide-open mouth reveals sharp teeth, creating an impressive combination of grace and strength. The line work accentuates the muscular silhouette and enhances the dynamic nature of the scene. Every reflection on the polished surface reveals new facets of the design. The image is complemented by the Chinese character for “Tiger,” the inscription TIGER 2022, and the mintmark P of the minting facility. The obverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and lends the piece a classical numismatic elegance.
Historical and Cultural Background
The significance of the tiger in the Asian zodiac
In Asian culture, the tiger symbolizes courage and bravery and is regarded as a protector against misfortune. People born in the Year of the Tiger are associated with sensitivity, passion, and leadership qualities. The Perth Mint’s Lunar Series III pays tribute to this cultural heritage, artistically depicting each year’s zodiac symbol on precious metal coins. The 2022 issue holds a special place within this tradition, as the tiger is revered in Asia as the secret King of Beasts and has been considered a symbol of extraordinary strength for centuries.
