2022 Year of the Tiger Three Coin Silver Proof Set
Description
The third year of The Perth Mint’s highly anticipated Australian Lunar Series III coin program includes an array of superb silver coins celebrating the next animal in the zodiac, the tiger.
Released as a magnificent three-coin set, the coins feature original artistry portraying the confident tiger.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar tiger in 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974 and each 12th preceding year are said to be natural leaders blessed with courage, charm and confidence.
No more than 1,000 three-coin sets will be released.
Each three-coin set is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid decorated with a silver geometric design.
The coin’s reverse of each coin portrays a tiger cub following its proud and protective parent across a rocky terrain featuring ferns and bamboo. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘tiger’, the inscription ‘TIGER 2022’
The case is packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper portraying the story of how the Tiger became an animal of the zodiac and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
The shippers of future animals in the Lunar Series III will, when arrayed together, form a diorama depicting the ancient myth of The Great Race, which tells how the zodiac came into being.
