The Chinese Lunar Calendar is one of the most fascinating traditions to originate from China. It was born from the lore that Buddha, before ascending into heaven, invited all of the animal kingdoms to bid him farewell. Only 12 animals came to say goodbye and in return, they were honored. This collection is an extension of the honor bestowed on them. Today, JM Bullion offers you the 2010 1/4 oz Australian Gold Lunar Tiger Coin!

For the obverse field of the 2010 1/4 oz Australian Gold Lunar Tiger Coin,  you will find the legendary effigy of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The inscriptions found on this side of the coin include ‘Elizabeth’-the name of the Queen, ‘Australia’-the issuing country, and ’25 dollars’ -the face value. The star of the design is depicted as a regal monarch who wears a glistening crown in a right profile view.

For the reverse field of the 2010 1/4 oz Australian Gold Lunar Tiger Coin, a full frontal view of a tiger is engraved. The tiger stares straight into the eyes of the viewer like it is examining their soul. The tiger is gorgeously engraved with a lush mane and an extremely round face. The inscriptions include, ‘Year of the Tiger’, along with the Chinese character for ‘Tiger’ and Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
