Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of 2022 Proof Australian Silver Lunar Tiger Opal Coins. This design comes from Jody Clark and was created in 2015 for the Royal Mint of England. The portrait on this side is the sixth-generation design for Australian coins and is the first since 1966 to include her shoulders in the portrait field. In this effigy, Her Majesty is shown at the age of 89 with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head.

In the reverse design of 2022 1 oz Proof Silver Lunar Tiger Opal Coins, the mint features a distinctive image of the tiger. This image shows a beautiful opal in the shape of a tiger, creating a stunning contrast between the design and the field of the coin. 

2022 is the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. This is the third year in the 12-year cycle and it marks the first appearance of the Water Tiger, one of five variations of each animal in the cycle, since 1962.
