For many, tigers are symbols of strength and beauty. Originating roughly two million years ago in Africa, these majestic creatures slowly migrated across the jungle and into Asia. Today, their most populous region is India, where some 3000 of these apex predators are said to roam. If you’re scanning the 6 different species of tiger that have survived to this day, you’ll likely immediately recognize the Bengal tiger, which numbers nearly half of all tigers in the wild. While tigers are considered an endangered species, conservationists are doing everything in their power to ensure these magnificent animals will be around for generations to come.
The obverse side of all coins in the 2022 Singapore Silver Year of the Tiger 3-Coin Set have a center display of Singapore’s coat of arms. On it you’ll see the motto Majulah Singapura, meaning Onward Singapore. Also, on the edges of the obverse are the words Singapura and Singapore. Inscribed on the right side are several Chinese characters, countered with Thai characters on the left.
For the reverse of each coin in the 2022 Singapore Silver Year of the Tiger Set is a depiction of a tiger. In one coin we see a standard silver image, while the other two feature full-color displays of the tiger. All tigers in this set are seen against the backdrop of Haw Par Villa, an Asian cultural park in Singapore.
Each 2022 Proof Singapore Silver Year of the Tiger 3-Coin Set arrives with a special display box featuring a tiger design on the lid. All three coins are housed inside. Included is a serialized Certificate of Authenticity from the mint.
