The third year of The Perth Mint’s highly anticipated Australian Lunar Series III is marked by the release of this beautiful 1/4oz gold proof coin portraying the next animal in the zodiac, the tiger.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar tiger in 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974 and every 12th preceding year are said to be natural leaders blessed with courage, charm and confidence.
Meticulously struck from 99.99% pure gold in proof quality, no more than 3,500 1/4oz coins will be released in this packaging.
The coin’s reverse portrays a tiger standing on a peak with its head turned towards its tail. The fearless animal’s open jaw features razor sharp canine teeth. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘tiger’, the inscription ‘TIGER 2022’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Each coin is presented in a prestigious red display case with a magnetic lid. Adorned with gold lettering and a geometric design, the case is packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper portraying the story of how the tiger became the third animal in the zodiac, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
