Australia 1 dollar Lunar Calendar series II Year of Tiger silver proof coin 2010

The Australia 1 Dollar Lunar Calendar Series II Year of the Tiger silver proof coin 2010 is a prestigious release from the Perth Mint, dedicated to the third sign of the Chinese zodiac. Struck from .999 fine silver in proof quality, it celebrates the Tiger — a timeless emblem of bravery, authority, and vitality in Chinese tradition. On the reverse, a powerful tiger rests gracefully on grass, its striped fur and muscular body captured in remarkable detail. Behind the animal rises a finely engraved tree, enhancing the natural harmony of the design. To the left stands the Chinese character for “Tiger,” below is the inscription Year of the Tiger, while the discreet “P” mintmark confirms its Perth Mint origin.

The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a jeweled crown. The surrounding legend reads: ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1 DOLLAR – 2010 – 1oz 999 SILVER.

This proof edition, with frosted relief and mirror-like fields, adds an extra dimension of artistry and elegance. Limited in mintage, the coin is highly valued among collectors for its symbolism, refined craftsmanship, and historic place in the Lunar Series II.
