The Year of the Tiger gold coin is the third issue in Australia's Lunar bullion gold coin Series Two.

Each of these pure (99.99%) gold bullion coins is individually packaged at hard plastic capsules at the Perth Mint, and delivered to you in pristine condition.

Mintage of the 1-ounce gold coins in this 12-year series is limited to 30,000 pieces.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, on a Chinese New Year, Buddha summoned all the animals of his kingdom, but only 12 showed up.

To honor the 12, each animal present was given a year of its own, in the order that they arrived. People subsequently born in those years are said to share the characteristics of that year's animal.

Each Year of the Tiger gold coin is a beautiful example of what can be done in .9999 fine gold bullion, as struck to the precise standards of the Perth Mint.
