The Opal Lunar year coins proved to be a popular design and quickly sold out in the past years. Get yours before it's too late!

To celebrate the 2022 Lunar New Year of the Tiger, the Perth Mint has released a new collection of coins and investment items. The Lunar New Year is an important date that is celebrated by communities worldwide.

These limited 1 oz silver coins feature a centered tiger made from authentic Australian opal.

The legend says that the Chinese emperor Jade held a Great Race with animals. The race would determine the first twelve zodiac signs. The first twelve animals to cross a river before the end of the race would be featured in the Zodiac.

The Tiger was one of the favourites to win the race, but the powerful river stream kept sending the big cat in another direction. That did not discourage the confident Tiger, which kept swimming and made it ashore after the Rat and the Ox. The Tiger is the third animal of the Chinese zodiac.

It is said that people born in the Year or the Tiger are determined, brave, and well-liked.

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970.
