The Perth Mint perfectly highlights the Chinese zodiac calendar in its Australian Lunar Series. For almost twenty years, the oldest mint in Australia has dazzled collectors with their unique minting techniques and high quality products. Representing power and authority, the tiger is the symbol of bravery and prowess. The tiger is also another zodiac animal that is heavily respected in the Chinese culture. People born under the year of the tiger are like their animal counterpart: fearless, daring, and unpredictable when it comes to their actions. In ancient times, emperors would paint tigers all over their throne rooms to make it known they are the ones to be feared.
The Australian Lunar Series II Gold 2010 1/20 ounce Tiger was the last coin to share a mint date with the Australian Lunar Series I collection. Sparkling with its famous brilliant uncirculated and proof finish, the Australian Lunar Series II Gold 2010 1/20 ounce Tiger is promised to be .9999 pure gold. The reverse is the main attraction for the Australian Lunar Series II Gold 2010 1/20 ounce Tiger. A close-up portrait of the fierce cat, the reverse displays the intricacies of a tiger's face. The tiger's proof-like traits make it look like its about to pounce on its curious onlookers. The obverse portrays the monarch of the Commonwealth of Nations, Queen Elizabeth II, in a stunning proof-like design. Surrounding her side portrait is the coin's date and place of mintage, as well as the gold content and purity. The entire Australian Lunar Series II Gold is mint sealed capsule for protection. The 2010 tiger is the third installment of the Australian Lunar Series II and is nothing short of the Perth Mint's intricate detail and design.
