2022-Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Tiger BU (Series III)

The Perth Mint’s renowned Australian Lunar Series celebrates the Chinese Year of the Tiger with these magnificent gold coins.

The third of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar, the Years of the Tiger include 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950, 1938, 1926, 1914 and each prior and subsequent twelve-year interval. The tiger is said to be a symbol of power and lordliness, and that the Chinese zodiac Tiger sign entitles people born in the Years of the Tiger to be natural leaders who are adventurous, ambitious and have a strong sense of justice.
