DESCRIPTION
The 2022 Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Tiger 2oz Gold Bullion Coin celebrates the third animal of the Chinese zodiac in a substantial investment-grade gold release. Struck by The Perth Mint from 2 troy ounces of 99.99% pure gold, this impressive coin combines significant precious metal content with internationally recognised Australian minting craftsmanship.
Designed by Monique Reeves, the reverse portrays a fearless tiger standing among rocky terrain, reflecting the animal's traditional reputation as the king of the mountains. The design incorporates the Chinese character for “Tiger”, the inscription “TIGER 2022” and The Perth Mint's iconic “P” mintmark.
In Chinese tradition, the Tiger is associated with determination, courage, confidence and charm. As part of The Perth Mint's acclaimed Australian Lunar Series III, the 2022 release combines meaningful Lunar symbolism with the intrinsic value of two troy ounces of physical gold.
The obverse bears the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, together with the coin's weight, purity and AUD $200 monetary denomination. For additional security, the coin incorporates a micro-laser engraved authentication feature designed to make counterfeiting more difficult. Each coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
