2022 Year of the Tiger $1 Unc Two Coin Set
To celebrate the Lunar Year of the Tiger, the Royal Australian Mint has released this 2022 S1 Uncirculated Two-Coin Set featuring the charming and powerful Tiger and the Lunar calendar wheel. The set is designed to appeal to collectors or those seeking an auspicious and traditional gift for Lunar New Year.
The Tiger is the third of the twelve signs in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, the Jade Emperor announced a Great Race to establish the order of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. At the end of the race the animals had to cross a fast-flowing river to take their place in the Zodiac. The confident Tiger was a likely contender to win, but kept getting swept downstream by the strong currents. Showing the determination and strength synonymous with those born under the sign, the Tiger finally made it a shore after the Rat and the Ox.
People born in the Year of the Tiger are said to be brave, charming and well-liked. Famous Tigers include Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IL actors Torn Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, performer Lady Gaga and Australia's 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin.
