Perth Mint — Australia: New silver Proof coin in “Opal” Lunar series continues with design featuring the tiger
Designed by Perth Mint artist Jennifer McKenna, the reverse design incorporates authentic Australian opal created as an inlaid tiger-shaped centrepiece. The colourful opal forms the depiction of the tiger in the coin’s inner ring set against a black background. The text above the main design reads YEAR OF THE TIGER with the year 2022 and the coin’s weight and fineness seen just under the tiger and to the left with the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark placed to the right. The outer ring in the design features an intricate patterning and stylised depictions of cineraria flowers — considered lucky for those born in the Year of the Tiger — and is surrounded by a circular, geometric East Asian style border. The coin’s obverse bears Jody Clark’s commonwealth effigy of HM Queen Elizabeth II within a stylised pattern and the monetary denomination of 1 DOLLAR placed under the Queen’s likeness.
