Each one of the 2010 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Tiger Coins in this product listing comes with an individual plastic capsule. This particular coin design comes from the Lunar Series II Year of the Tiger design and is one of several options for the year.

Other options for the 2020 Year of the Tiger Lunar Series II release include the 10 kilogram, 1/2 kilogram, 10 oz, 5 oz, 2 oz, and 1/2 oz silver coins. The 1/2 kilogram coins were unique to the early years of the Lunar Series II coins and eventually replaced by 1 Kilogram coins.

On the obverse side of 2010 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Tiger Coins, you will find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is featured in right-profile relief on this side of the coin in a portrait created by Ian Rank-Broadley. This 1998 design was designed originally for the Royal Mint of England and used throughout the Lunar Series I and Lunar Series II coins at the Perth Mint.

The reverse field of the 2010 Australian Silver Lunar Tiger Coins comes with a depiction of a tiger. The largest extant predatory cat, the tiger is a beautiful and powerful animal. Once roaming vast stretches of Asia and Siberia, today its range is drastically cut to corners of Siberia, northeast China, the Indian subcontinent, and the island of Sumatra.

Perth Mint’s 2010 Year of the Tiger designs actually came in two formats, with one marking the final release in the longer-running Lunar Series I program and these coins representing the Lunar Series II collection.
