2022 Perth Mint Baby Tiger 1/2oz Coloured Silver Proof Coin

Welcome The New Year With An Adorable Baby Tiger. This little guy may not be as strong as an tiger, but he is as cute as a button — and the latest release from Australia’s famed Perth Mint that pays tribute to the animals of the Chinese Lunar Zodiac Calendar. Celebrating 2022 being the Year of the Tiger, this adorable coin offers a whole new representation of the venerable old tiger in a way that’s sure to delight collectors the world over.

Struck in a half ounce of gleaming 99.99% pure silver, this 50-cents legal-tender coin was released on behalf of Tuvalu, an independent South Pacific Ocean island nation within the British Commonwealth. The ancient lunar zodiac comprises 12 animal signs, each said to bestow desirable characteristics on those born under its influence. According to tradition, tiger children will likely be blessed with courage, charm and confidence. Rendered in full color, our little bovine even has a gift-wrapped present — a perfect symbol for anyone whose birthday falls during the Year of the Tiger. Above the little fella is an inscription that reads “YEAR OF THE TIGER” while the Chinese symbol for “Tiger” appears to the left and the Perth Mint’s famous “P” mint mark can be seen at the lower right.

In addition to its warm colorization, this coin also features a fabulous proof finish, meaning that it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! Plus, each coin available here will come beautifully displayed in a classic presentation case with a clear lid decorated with a silver geometric design. The case has an illustrated shipper and is accompanied by a Perth Mint Certificate of Authenticity.
