Description: In Stock and Ready for Immediate Shipment!Long SOLD OUT at the Perth Mint! EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND, this fractional Year of the Tiger pure gold stunner (in vibrant full color) offers a beautiful and economical way to own .9999 fine gold! Observing the fearsome carnivore that is the tiger, whether in nature or in a zoological park, we mere humans can't help but be awestruck by the size, strength, and elegance of this majestic creature. The tiger (Panthera tigris) is easily one of the most intriguing, most beautiful, and most endangered great animals in the world. It is also one of the two most auspicious animals on the Chinese lunar calendar (the other being the Dragon), a feline made all the more desirable by the Perth Mint's execution in 4 9s pure gold, artistically rendered in what the Perth Mint refers to as its "specimen" or "bullion" finish, which we would call a reverse proof finish, with frosted fields and mirrored devices. Even better is the price! Leave it to the Perth Mint to make the luxury of a .9999 fine gold coin affordable for everyone! Availability Note—These rare, vibrant tigers were struck exclusively for the Asian market. We have managed to acquire a few of these full color, hard to find, yet affordable, gold tigers, long sold out at the Mint. Get them while you can! The Year of the Tiger Centuries ago, the Chinese invented a calendar based on the lunar (rather than the solar) cycle. There are twelve animals in the Chinese lunar zodiac, each corresponding in sequence to a year rather than a month. In 2010 we celebrate the Year of the Tiger. According to tradition, people born during a Year of the Tiger (1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010 and 2022) are said to exhibit that animal’s attributes. They are charismatic and fearsome, generous but unpredictable. They are often noted for their enthusiasm in life, and are unafraid of exploring new territory. They can also be aggressive, especially when they perceive a threat or are cornered. Investment Note This artistically-rendered beauty contains a full one-twentieth troy ounce of four nines (.9999) pure gold. Its weight represents a most popular fractional size of gold, small enough to be economical for any collector. Technology Note The marvelous minting and refining technologies of the Perth Mint have brought us this affordable gold coin, in a purity (99.99%) that puts other, larger gold coins to shame!
