Chinese Lunar Year of the Tiger

The tiger is the third animal in the Chinese lunar calendar. Tigers are regarded as being brave, forceful and powerful, and those born during the Year of the Tiger are thought to be courageous, charming and adventurous.

Perth Mint Lunar Coins

The Perth Mint introduced their lunar coin series in 1996. Each coin celebrates a different Chinese zodiac sign, with each cycle lasting 12 years. Since the lunar coins were introduced they have proven to be highly collectable, with most sizes selling out quickly.

Series III

The Perth Mint's third series of lunar coins began with the 2020 Year of the Mouse. The early issues are often hard to find, so if you're thinking about collecting, we suggest you buy these earlier issues before it’s too late.

The obverse features the Australian coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark. The design shows Elizabeth from the shoulders upwards. The text reads:

ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA

1/4oz 9999 Au 25 DOLLARS

Designed by Monique Reeves, the reverse of this gold coin features a fierce tiger, standing on a rock peak. The Chinese character for 'tiger' can be found to the left of it, with the inscription 'TIGER 2022' and the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark.
