2022 Perth Mint Gold Lunar Tiger Coin 1/2oz

Description

These magnificent gold coins celebrate the Year of the Tiger, the third of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar tiger in 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950 and every 12th preceding year, are said to possess determination, courage, confidence and charm.

Meticulously struck from 99.99% pure gold, the coins are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

No mintage limit applies to the 10oz, 2oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, 1/10oz, and 1/20oz coins. However, production will close at the end of 2022 when The Perth Mint will declare each coin’s official mintage.

DESIGN

Each coin portrays a fearless tiger standing on a peak with its open jaws displaying razor sharp canine teeth. The design includes the inscription ‘TIGER 2022’, the Chinese character for ‘tiger’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse of the coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination.

AUTHENTICATION FEATURE

The reverse of the all coins except the 10 kilo includes a security feature in the form of a micro-engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.

PRESENTATION

Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
