The 2010 Australia Gold Lunar Tiger is a 1/10 oz gold coin struck in .9999 fine gold by The Perth Mint as part of the Australian Lunar Series II collection. Issued by the Australian government, the coin carries legal tender status and is denominated at fifteen Australian dollars. It represents one of the most respected annual bullion series in the world, combining investment-grade metal content with rotating commemorative design work tied to the Chinese Lunar calendar.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the high production standards The Perth Mint applies across its Lunar Series releases. The 1/10 oz format positions it within a range of fractional gold options that carry the same .9999 purity as the full-ounce issue.
The Perth Mint launched the Australian Lunar Series I in 1996, initiating a twelve-year cycle of annual coin releases corresponding to each sign of the Chinese zodiac.

We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the high production standards The Perth Mint applies across its Lunar Series releases. The 1/10 oz format positions it within a range of fractional gold options that carry the same .9999 purity as the full-ounce issue.
The Perth Mint launched the Australian Lunar Series I in 1996, initiating a twelve-year cycle of annual coin releases corresponding to each sign of the Chinese zodiac. The Tiger was featured in that first series in 1998. Series II began in 2008 with a renewed commitment to more detailed design work and broader size availability, with the Tiger appearing again in 2010 as the third release in the new cycle.
The Perth Mint itself has operated since 1899 and is one of the oldest and most technically advanced minting facilities in the world. As a government enterprise of Western Australia, it produces coins, bars, and rounds that circulate in collecting and bullion markets globally. Its reputation for precise striking and consistent quality has made its products a benchmark across the industry.
The Chinese Lunar calendar's twelve-year cycle gives the Lunar Series a built-in collectibility structure. Each animal appears once per series, making individual releases finite by design. The Tiger year holds particular cultural significance in Chinese tradition, associated with strength and courage, which has historically supported collector interest in Tiger-dated issues.
The reverse of the 2010 Lunar Tiger features a finely detailed portrait of a tiger rendered with textured fur and natural depth. The design captures the animal mid-stance with strong compositional balance, reflecting The Perth Mint's approach to elevating bullion coin artistry beyond standard strike work. The year of issue, the weight, purity, and metal content are inscribed on the reverse alongside the Chinese character for Tiger.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which appears on all Australian legal tender coins of this era. The portrait is accompanied by the coin's denomination and the word "Australia," consistent with the standard obverse layout used across Perth Mint sovereign issues. The overall composition presents a clean, formal appearance appropriate for both collector display and bullion holdings.
At 1/10 oz, the coin's smaller diameter does not diminish the design's legibility. The Perth Mint achieves precise relief and sharp detail even at this scale, which is a meaningful distinction compared to some fractional coin programs where miniaturization compromises design clarity.
The 1/10 oz format offers a lower per-unit price point compared to half-ounce and full-ounce versions while maintaining identical .9999 purity and the same legal tender standing. For buyers who want exposure to a specific Lunar year release without committing to the capital outlay of a larger coin, the 1/10 oz is a practical entry point. It is also a common choice for collectors building complete size sets within a given year.
Fractional coins generally carry a higher premium per troy ounce than larger formats due to per-unit production costs, but the 1/10 oz Lunar Tiger remains broadly accessible relative to other fractional gold options in the market. Its compact size also makes it easy to handle, store, and include in a diversified physical gold holding.
Every 2010 Gold Lunar Tiger we carry is struck to .9999 fine gold standards and produced under the full authority of The Perth Mint, one of the most credentialed minting operations in the world. The mint's production process includes stringent quality controls at every stage, and the coin's weight and purity are guaranteed by both the mint and the Australian government through its legal tender designation.
As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are equipped to facilitate third-party grading for customers who require additional authentication documentation. For coins acquired in BU condition directly from reputable distribution channels, The Perth Mint's standards alone provide a strong foundation for authenticity confidence.
BU, or Brilliant Uncirculated, indicates a coin that has never entered circulation and retains its original mint luster. For Perth Mint Lunar issues, BU coins are struck with care and typically exhibit sharp design detail, clean fields, and minimal contact marks consistent with careful handling during production and packaging. This condition is appropriate for buyers who prioritize both metal content and presentation quality.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to prevent surface contact during transit. Tubes typically hold ten coins each for the 1/10 oz Lunar format, and larger quantities are packaged in sealed mint boxes. If you are purchasing a full box quantity, the coins arrive in their original sealed configuration directly from the mint or primary distribution. Single coins and smaller quantities are handled and packaged to maintain condition integrity throughout the fulfillment process.
The price of the 2010 Gold Lunar Tiger is directly tied to the spot price of gold, with a premium applied above that base. The premium for this coin reflects several factors: the recognized quality of The Perth Mint, the .9999 fine gold designation, the coin's legal tender status, and the added collector demand generated by the Lunar Series format and the specific Tiger year. Limited annual mintages for each Lunar release can support firmer premiums relative to generic fractional gold bullion.
Our pricing updates in real time with market conditions, and the bid/ask spread is displayed on the product page so buyers can evaluate the full cost of ownership, not just the headline price. We think that level of transparency matters when you're comparing fractional gold options across the market.
The Australian Lunar Series enjoys strong global recognition among both bullion buyers and numismatic collectors, which supports resale across a broad range of channels. The Tiger year specifically tends to attract consistent interest given its cultural significance in the Lunar calendar cycle. The coin's government-backed issuance, standardized weight, and documented purity make it straightforward to evaluate and price in the secondary market.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Factoring in buyback pricing before committing to a purchase gives a more complete picture of what ownership actually costs over time, and we make that information available so the decision can be made on complete information rather than one side of the transaction.
The 2010 Gold Lunar Tiger offers something that standard fractional gold bullion typically does not: a combination of .9999 purity, government-backed legal tender status, and a rotating design series with a defined twelve-year cycle. For collectors building a complete Lunar Series II set, the Tiger is a non-repeating release that cannot be substituted with a future year. That structural scarcity distinguishes it from open-ended bullion programs.
The Perth Mint's reputation for precision striking means the coin holds up well in terms of design quality and surface consistency. At 1/10 oz, it is one of the more accessible formats in the Lunar lineup while still carrying the same purity standard as the larger denominations. For buyers who want fractional gold with recognizable series identity and a credible minting source, this coin covers all of those requirements cleanly.
We have been operating as a trusted precious metals marketplace since 2010, and our approach has remained consistent throughout: transparent pricing, reliable fulfillment, and a customer experience built around informed decision-making rather than pressure. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect that commitment across every part of the business.
We stock products from reputable mints and established distribution networks, and every item is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity. Our two-way market model means you can both buy and sell within the same platform, with competitive buyback pricing that reflects real market conditions. We think liquidity belongs in the conversation before you make a purchase, not only after you have decided to sell.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2010 Gold Lunar Tiger, allowing you to see how this coin is priced and traded at the wholesale level in real time. Pro members can also access historical premium data, bid/ask spread analysis, and liquidity metrics that provide context for evaluating fractional gold premiums relative to current market conditions, which matters when comparing Lunar Series coins against other fractional options.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more accurate picture of what their holdings are actually worth at any given moment. For buyers holding multiple fractional gold coins across different series or formats, that kind of real-time visibility makes a meaningful difference in understanding the true state of a physical gold position.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make every transaction straightforward and secure. You can pay using major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each payment method is processed through a secure system designed to protect your information and give you confidence at checkout, regardless of how you prefer to pay.
