More than a billion and a half people each year celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Chinese lunisolar calendar, a holiday that has a wealth of meaning and tradition in multiple countries. Each lunar year brings the ascendancy of a new sign in the twelve-year cycle of the traditional Chinese zodiac, and 2022 brought in the Year of the Tiger, the king of all beasts.

The Mongolian lunar coin series from CIT is shaped and detailed numismatic sculptures made with SmartMinting technology. The items in this series are designed to stand freely on their own as conversation pieces, and their unique design has made them highly prized by collectors. Different classical elements are associated with various years in the zodiac to form an even larger sixty-year cycle, and this particular year corresponds to the Water Tiger, which represents the personal qualities of smarts, humor, and gregariousness.
The 2022 Mongolia Gilded Silver Lunar Charming Tiger Coin comes wrapped in gilding and features ultra high-relief engraving. It comes in an elegant collector’s box accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, and every shipment is fully insured against misplacement or damage by JM Bullion.

The coin’s obverse side shows a Mongolian coat of arms, the face value of 1,000 Togrog, and the coin’s weight and silver contents inscribed within a circle on the tiger’s back. Beneath it is the year of issue inscription “2022.”
The front side of the Tiger comprises the coin’s reverse side. With raised eyebrows and an engagingly goofy smile, he’s sculpted to reflect the charming and funny personality of someone born in a Year of the Water Tiger.
