To commemorate this cycle, the Perth Mint issues a brand new Lunar coin annually displaying the Chinese Zodiac animal. The year 2022 marks the beginning of the Year of the Tiger. Although Tigers are known to be impulsive and hard-headed at times, their friends and family appreciate them for their sympathetic and friendly nature. Those born during this year also tend to exude ambition, bravery, and charm. Other years that fall under the Tiger’s auspicious sign include 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010.
