The 2010 Australia Gold Lunar Tiger is a fractional bullion coin issued by The Perth Mint as part of its acclaimed Lunar Series II program. Struck in .9999 fine gold and weighing 1/20 troy ounce, it carries legal tender status under the government of Australia. The coin celebrates the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac calendar, making it one of twelve designs in the Series II program, each tied to a specific lunar year.
We carry this coin as a recognized fractional gold product from one of the world's most respected sovereign mints. Its combination of certified purity, government backing, and distinctive annual design places it in a category that resonates with collectors and metal buyers alike.
The Perth Mint has been producing gold coinage since 1899, originally established as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint to process the gold coming out of Western Australia's mining boom. Today it operates as a commercial enterprise owned by the Government of Western Australia and holds a reputation as one of the most technically advanced mints in operation globally.

The Perth Mint has been producing gold coinage since 1899, originally established as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint to process the gold coming out of Western Australia's mining boom. Today it operates as a commercial enterprise owned by the Government of Western Australia and holds a reputation as one of the most technically advanced mints in operation globally.
The Australian Lunar series began with Series I in 1996 and ran through 2007, with each year featuring a different zodiac animal. Series II launched in 2008 with a fresh set of designs, refined engraving standards, and an expanded range of sizes. The Tiger coin, released in 2010, corresponds to the fourth year of that twelve-year cycle. The series as a whole has developed a strong following among collectors who pursue complete year-by-year sets, which contributes to sustained demand for individual issues like this one.
The reverse of the 2010 Lunar Tiger features a detailed engraving of a tiger, rendered with strong attention to texture and motion. The Perth Mint's engravers applied fine line work to convey the musculature and coat pattern of the animal, giving the coin a level of artistic depth that distinguishes it from more standardized bullion designs. The reverse also carries the year of issue, the weight and purity designation, and the "P" mint mark identifying it as a Perth Mint product.
The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coins issued during this period. The portrait is surrounded by inscriptions noting the coin's face value and country of issue. The overall finish is consistent with the Perth Mint's precision striking standards, giving the coin a clean, sharp appearance across both faces.
At 1/20 troy ounce, this coin offers a lower point of entry into gold ownership without sacrificing the purity or authenticity standards associated with full-ounce sovereign coins. Fractional gold is a practical format for buyers who want to add gold in smaller increments or who prefer to hold pieces that can be transferred or liquidated individually rather than in larger units.
The 1/20 oz size also suits collectors building out a complete Lunar Series set across multiple denominations. Smaller fractional coins from The Perth Mint are known to carry higher per-ounce premiums compared to their larger counterparts, which is a meaningful consideration when evaluating the overall cost of ownership at this size.
Every coin in The Perth Mint's Lunar Series II program is struck to exacting standards, with the .9999 fine gold purity independently verifiable through the mint's own assay processes. The "P" mint mark present on each coin is a recognized identifier that confirms its origin. Perth Mint coins are among the most widely authenticated and traded gold products in the world, which supports straightforward verification in both dealer and collector markets.
We verify every product for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further support our ability to identify, grade, and handle numismatic-quality products like this one when professional certification is relevant to a buyer's needs.
This coin is listed in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, meaning it has not been in circulation and retains its original mint luster without post-production wear. BU is the standard presentation for Perth Mint bullion coins and reflects the coin's condition directly from production, handled and stored appropriately to preserve its surface quality.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to guard against contact damage during transit. The Perth Mint packages 1/20 oz Lunar coins in tubes, and full box quantities are sealed at the mint. When purchasing a single coin, expect it to arrive in a flip. Tube and sealed box quantities are available for buyers acquiring larger amounts. The Perth Mint also issues some Lunar coins in individual presentation packaging, which may apply depending on the specific release format.
The price of this coin is tied to the real-time spot price of gold, adjusted by a premium that reflects the coin's fractional format, production quality, collector demand, and the global recognition of The Perth Mint. Fractional gold coins from sovereign mints typically carry higher per-ounce premiums than full-ounce products, a pricing pattern driven by the higher per-unit manufacturing cost and the more limited supply of fractional sizes.
Collector interest in the Lunar series adds a layer of demand that can influence premiums beyond what a generic fractional gold product might carry. Our pricing reflects current market conditions and is structured to give buyers a clear, real-time picture of what they are paying relative to spot.
The Perth Mint's Lunar series is globally recognized and traded across dealer networks, auction platforms, and collector markets worldwide. The combination of .9999 fine gold, government-issued legal tender status, and a well-established series with a dedicated collector base supports consistent resale activity. Fractional gold does involve a wider bid/ask spread relative to full-ounce sovereign coins, which is a natural function of the format and is worth factoring into the total cost of ownership.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Competitive buyback pricing is a core part of how we serve customers, and we believe liquidity is a factor worth understanding before a purchase is made rather than only when it is time to sell.
The 2010 Gold Lunar Tiger offers a combination of attributes that are not common in standard bullion coins. It carries .9999 fine gold purity, legal tender status from the Australian government, and a distinctive annual design from The Perth Mint that speaks directly to collectors tracking the full twelve-year Lunar Series II set. The Tiger is one of the more sought-after signs in the Chinese Zodiac, which adds a cultural resonance that drives demand in Asian and international collector markets.
For buyers drawn to fractional gold, this coin delivers the quality and provenance of a full sovereign issue in a smaller, more accessible format. The artistic standard of Perth Mint engraving sets this series apart from generic fractional rounds or bars, which matters both at the point of acquisition and when it comes time to resell into a market that recognizes the name and the design.
We have been operating as a trusted precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparency, honest pricing, and building relationships that extend beyond a single transaction. Our pricing reflects live market conditions, and we structure every product page to give buyers the context they need to evaluate what they are actually paying, not just the headline price.
Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association, and membership in the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a consistent standard of professionalism that we hold ourselves to across every order. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are equipped to handle certified and collectible products with the proper expertise. Every product we ship is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and our customer support team is available to assist at any stage of the buying or selling process. We are built to be a long-term resource, not a one-time transaction.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, which is especially meaningful when evaluating fractional gold products where premiums and spreads can shift more noticeably than with full-ounce issues. Rather than working from static retail prices, Pro members see real-time wholesale market pricing that reflects actual supply and demand conditions as they evolve. For a product like the 1/20 oz Lunar Tiger, understanding how the premium and spread behave over time adds useful context that a spot price alone cannot provide.
Pro also includes real-time portfolio valuation based on current wholesale bid pricing, along with proprietary research tools that allow members to compare products across the catalog using metrics like historical premiums, spread tightness, and liquidity. These tools are designed to support more informed decisions at the time of purchase and a clearer picture of current market value when it comes time to sell.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make every transaction as straightforward as possible. Buyers can complete purchases using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each option is supported by secure transaction infrastructure designed to protect buyer information and ensure reliable order processing from the point of payment through fulfillment.
