BOLD is very pleased to present this third Lunar Year release of Australia's Perth Lunar Series III. Entering into this year's Lunar Tiger offering, global collectors have already voiced their overwhelming approval of the direction Perth chose when introducing Series III during the 2020 lunar cycle. And judging from this 2022 Australia Perth Lunar Year of the Tiger 1 oz Silver Trio 3-Coin Set design, Perth continues on this winning track!
Each year since 1995, The Perth Mint has proudly offered a distinctive new design celebrating the current year's animal that represents one of the 12 animals of the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. For 2022 we celebrate the third animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Tiger.
As noted by the mint, "Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar tiger in 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974 and each 12th preceding year are said to be natural leaders blessed with courage, charm and confidence"
Included in this stunning Trio 3-coin Proof Set is one coin each of the 2022 Lunar Year of the Tiger 1 oz Silver Proof, Silver Proof Colored, and the Silver Proof Gilded. They are beautifully collected for display in single classic Perth Mint display case with a magnetic lid. The set arrives in a finely illustrated shipper with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Only 1,500 sets will be produced.
As legal tender offerings by Australia, the obverse for each of the coins included in the Trio set depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the coin's 1 oz weight and .9999 fine purity, and the face value. The reverse of each of the coins feature a delightful scene depicting an adult tiger and its young cub closely following behind. The rocky terrain allows the cub to learn how to navigate through difficult paths while safely keeping close to its parent's lead. The terrain also displays ferns and bamboo along the way. Inscriptions include the Chinese character for "Tiger" and "TIGER 2022." The iconic P Perth mintmark is at the left rim. The overall design continues the wonderful theme featuring an adult tiger and its young cub interacting!
