2022 Lunar Year of the Tiger

The Chinese Zodiac is based on the lunar calendar, with each year in the 12-year cycle assigned a different animal. For 2022 we celebrate the third animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac: 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."
