2008 was an eventful year in the world of bullion as it was the year of the official release of the second edition of the globally acclaimed lunar series of the Perth Mint, a series that is renowned for its beautiful design and collectability. As the third animal to cross the finish line in the fabled tale of the Zodiac, the Tiger is symbolic of those born in the year 2010 and in 12 year increments both prior and after. Those born in the year of the Tiger are associated with courage, activity, adventure, and overcoming obstacles and challenges. The year of the Tiger is aptly represented on this brilliant 9999 pure 1/10 oz gold coin of one of the most reputable mints in the world, the Perth Mint. With a minimal mintage of only 22,699, this coin is a true collector’s item!

The striking visage of a tiger adorns the reverse side, with expert engraving utilized to bring all its features to life. The Chinese character for Tiger is seen above the creature’s head, with “Year of the Tiger” below. The Perth Mint, “P” is included as an added security feature.

The obverse contains the modern effigy of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, over a blank coin field. The Queen is encapsulated by her title, the nation, and year of issue, in addition to the denomination and gold content.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
