The 2010 1 oz Silver Lunar Tiger is one of the final extended releases of the Perth Mint's Lunar Series I, originally spanning 1999 to 2010. Celebrating the Year of the Tiger, this coin honors traits of bravery, confidence, and leadership. Though the official Series I program concluded in 2007, the Perth Mint issued this coin later to help collectors complete their 12-coin zodiac sets in the 1 oz silver format.
Design Insight:
The reverse showcases a powerful and poised tiger, alone and alert-reflecting the bold, commanding presence typical of this zodiac sign. The minimalist background places full focus on the animal's grace and strength.
Collector Note:
As part of the unofficial final trio of Series I releases (Mouse 2008, Ox 2009, Tiger 2010), this coin is essential for completing a full 12-coin Series I 1 oz silver collection. It carries strong demand due to both its symbolic power and its unique status as a "closing chapter" issue.
