Composed of .9999 fine gold and weighing 0.25 troy ounces, it carries legal tender status under Australian law with a face value issued by the Commonwealth of Australia. The coin is presented in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the clean, unimpaired surfaces expected from a freshly minted coin that has not entered general circulation.
We carry this coin as part of our broader offering of Perth Mint gold products, which represent some of the most consistently refined and visually detailed bullion coins available in the market today.
The Perth Mint launched its Lunar Series II in 2008 as the successor to the original Lunar Series I, which ran from 1996 through 2007.

We carry this coin as part of our broader offering of Perth Mint gold products, which represent some of the most consistently refined and visually detailed bullion coins available in the market today.
The Perth Mint launched its Lunar Series II in 2008 as the successor to the original Lunar Series I, which ran from 1996 through 2007. Each year in the twelve-year cycle corresponds to an animal from the Chinese Zodiac, with the Tiger representing the third coin in the Series II program. The 2010 release marks the Year of the Tiger, a culturally significant designation that carries broad appeal across collectors and buyers with ties to East Asian traditions.
The Perth Mint, established in 1899 and operating as a statutory authority of the Government of Western Australia, has produced legal tender coinage on behalf of Australia for well over a century. Its reputation for precision craftsmanship and consistent metal purity places it among the most respected sovereign mints in the world. The Lunar Series II continued the mint's tradition of annual design changes, making each release a distinct product within a cohesive long-running program.
The reverse of the 2010 Lunar Tiger features a detailed depiction of a tiger rendered with the naturalistic precision that defines the Series II aesthetic. The design captures the animal in a dynamic pose against a textured background, with fine line engraving that emphasizes depth and musculature. The reverse also carries inscriptions noting the year of issue, the coin's weight, and its .9999 gold purity, along with the "P" mintmark denoting Perth.
The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the standard portrait used across Australian legal tender coinage during this period. The portrait is surrounded by the Queen's name, the face value, and the country of issue. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives both surfaces a clean, reflective quality without the frosted contrast of proof coinage, placing the focus on the design clarity and the warm tone of the .9999 gold composition.
At a quarter ounce, this coin occupies a practical middle ground between the more widely traded one-ounce format and the smaller tenth-ounce pieces. It offers meaningful gold content at a lower total outlay per unit than a full ounce, which makes it a practical choice for buyers looking to acquire gold in measured increments without the relatively higher premiums that smaller fractional sizes tend to carry.
The physical size also makes the coin easier to handle and store than a larger piece while still presenting the design in enough detail to appreciate the engraving work. For buyers who prioritize flexibility in how they accumulate or hold gold, the quarter-ounce format delivers a reasonable balance between unit cost and premium efficiency.
Each 2010 Lunar Tiger quarter-ounce coin was struck by The Perth Mint to exacting tolerances under the standards required of legal tender coinage. The mint's .9999 fine gold specification is among the highest purity levels in the sovereign bullion market, and every coin produced under the Lunar Series II program reflects the consistent quality controls maintained throughout Perth's production process.
Every product we handle is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further support our capacity to assist buyers who want third-party certification on collectible or numismatic-grade pieces. The Perth Mint's own reputation and the recognizable design of the Lunar Series provide additional layers of authentication assurance that buyers in the secondary market will recognize immediately.
Brilliant Uncirculated, or BU, refers to coins that have been struck for commercial distribution rather than collector presentation but have not entered circulation. BU coins retain their original mint surfaces and luster, though they may show minor contact marks from handling during production or packaging. These marks are a normal characteristic of the BU format and do not affect the coin's metal content or weight.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface condition during transit. Tubes of 25 coins are the standard inner pack configuration for quarter-ounce Perth Mint Lunar coins. When ordering at the tube level, coins ship in that sealed tube format. Larger bulk orders follow the outer pack structure as applicable. If you have questions about packaging for a specific quantity, our team can confirm the shipping format before your order is placed.
Pricing for this coin is calculated using the live spot price of gold as the baseline, with a premium added to reflect the production cost, the design and program recognition, and the mint's standing in the global bullion market. The Perth Mint's Lunar Series carries collector-driven demand that can push premiums modestly above those of generic fractional gold, particularly for earlier releases in a completed series.
The fractional format also affects per-ounce pricing. Quarter-ounce coins consistently trade at higher premiums per ounce than full-ounce equivalents due to the proportionally greater minting cost relative to metal content. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and the bid/ask spread displayed on the product page gives a transparent view of both the acquisition cost and the current resale reference point.
The 2010 Australia Gold Lunar Tiger benefits from the broad recognition that Perth Mint Lunar coins carry in both domestic and international resale markets. The .9999 gold purity and official government-backed legal tender status make the coin immediately legible to dealers and buyers worldwide. Fractional gold from reputable sovereign mints generally finds a ready market, and the Lunar Series has a well-established following among collectors tracking the full twelve-year cycle.
We operate a two-way market where customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Liquidity is something we believe should be evaluated before a purchase is made, not only at the point of sale. Our competitive buyback pricing and transparent bid structure reflect that commitment to supporting both sides of the transaction.
This coin occupies an interesting position in the gold market because it carries both intrinsic bullion value and meaningful collector appeal. As part of a now-completed twelve-year series, individual year releases can attract buyers who are assembling full sets, adding demand that operates independently of spot price movements. The Tiger year holds particular cultural significance and tends to generate stronger collector interest than some of the more common Zodiac releases.
The .9999 purity and Perth Mint provenance place it among the most credible fractional gold options available. For buyers who want a well-recognized, high-purity fractional coin with design distinction and series context, this release delivers on all of those characteristics without requiring a full-ounce commitment.
We have operated as a transparent precious metals marketplace since 2010, and our approach has always prioritized honest pricing, reliable fulfillment, and long-term customer relationships over short-term sales tactics. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction.
Every product we sell is authenticated and verified before it ships. Our two-way market model means customers can buy and sell within the same ecosystem, supported by competitive pricing on both sides. We carry authorized dealer status with PCGS and NGC, which matters particularly for collectible coins like this one where graded presentation may be relevant. From payment through delivery, the experience is designed around clarity, security, and support without the high-pressure environment that characterizes too much of this industry.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products including Perth Mint fractional gold, where the spread between acquisition cost and current liquidation value can be a meaningful factor in evaluating ownership costs. Rather than relying on estimated or indicative pricing, Pro members see real-time wholesale market pricing that reflects actual supply and demand conditions at the wholesale level, without additional dealer markups applied on top.
For a coin like the 2010 Lunar Tiger, where premiums are influenced by both collector demand and metal content, Pro tools including historical premium tracking, spread analysis, and portfolio valuation at live wholesale bid prices provide a clearer picture of how this specific product trades over time. These tools help members evaluate the coin using objective market data rather than assumptions about what the market will bear at any given moment.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the buying process straightforward and secure regardless of how you prefer to transact. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay.
Each payment method is processed through a secure system designed to protect your information and confirm your order efficiently. Whether you are making a single fractional purchase or a larger acquisition, the checkout process is built to reflect the same transparency and reliability that defines the rest of the platform.
