In the Year of the Tiger, Australia’s Lunar Coins make a Triumphant Return
The Perth Mint’s ever-popular “Australian Lunar Coins” initiative, which began in 1996 and is now in its third cycle, is inspired by the interesting legendary background behind the Chinese lunar calendar‘s 12 animals.
The latest Perth Mint collections of the “Australian Lunar Coins” is the tiger proof quality coin series, as 2022 happens to be the year of the tiger in the Chinese calendar. The tiger is available in both gold and silver coin variants and celebrates The Year of the Tiger.
The year of the tiger: Why do you need proof coins?
As a result, in the 12-year lunar calendar, the tiger dominates every third year; before 2022, it was in 2010 and 1998. The majestic big cat’s return will be celebrated on February 1, 2022, as part of the Chinese New Year festivities.
Proof coins are famous for their excellence, fineness, and beauty worldwide. Series enthusiasts and people who celebrate Chinese New Year seek Lunar coins, and they’ll be ideal souvenirs for anyone born under the lunar tiger in 2022.
The pure gold coins portray a courageous tiger standing on a cliff, its jaws wide, revealing razor-sharp canines. At the same time, the silver coins represent a tiger cub following its proud and protective parent through rugged terrain. Also imprinted is the Perth Mint’s ‘P’ Mintmark.
