Product Details

Fineness and Craftsmanship in Exceptional Precision

The coin is struck from one ounce of 999.9 gold and showcases its quality in the sophisticated proof finish. The surface reveals a fascinating interplay of mirror-like shine and sharply defined relief structures. The diameter of 27.60 millimeters creates a harmonious balance between compact elegance and detailed artistry. Every engraved line reflects the meticulous workmanship of The Perth Mint, whose expertise in precision and durability is valued worldwide.

Design and Motif

Powerful Aesthetics in Artistic Depiction

The motif features a tiger standing upon a rock, gazing powerfully into the distance. Its open mouth reveals impressive teeth, emphasizing its strength and dominance. The Chinese character for Tiger completes the design. The inscription TIGER 2022 and the mintmark P further enrich the composition. The high relief creates a depth effect that makes the animal appear almost tangible. The structure of the fur and every contour of the rock reflect light in varying nuances, lending the motif a vivid dynamism. The reverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with denomination and fineness.

Historical and Cultural Background

The Tiger as a Symbol of Courage and Leadership

In the Chinese zodiac, the tiger is among the most powerful signs and stands for courage, energy, and unwavering determination. Those born in the Year of the Tiger are considered sensitive, passionate, and resolute. Within Asian culture, the tiger holds the rank of king of the animals. Its appearance symbolizes authority and natural leadership. The Lunar Series by The Perth Mint draws upon these meaningful characteristics and merges them with modern minting artistry to create a culturally inspired collector’s piece.
