Description
Year of the Tiger Gilded Black Proof Lunar 5 Oz 10 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2022
The tiger – a symbol of courage and strength
In the Chinese lunar calendar the tiger is the third sign of the zodiac and a symbol of courage, strength and protection from evil. The Year of the Tiger began on 1 February 2022. Lunar coins are among the most collected coins in the world – collectors buy them every year to complete the full twelve-year cycle, and as gifts for people born in that year.
The design
On the reverse a tiger steps out of a bamboo grove straight towards the viewer. It is struck in high relief and gilded, with its stripes, fur and gaze rendered in fine detail. The gold contrasts beautifully with the black Black Proof finish showing bamboo stalks and leaves. On the left is the Chinese character 虎, meaning "tiger".
The obverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions NIUE 2022, TEN DOLLARS and 5 OZ 999 SILVER.
Packaging
The coin comes in a wooden case with a tiger illustration inside the lid, in a decorative outer box, together with a certificate of authenticity.
A gift idea
Perfect for someone born in the Year of the Tiger (e.g. 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022), for a Lunar series collector or a lover of large, striking coins. A heavy 5 oz coin with a gilded tiger on a black field makes an impression the moment the case is opened.
