We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, representing the standard production-quality finish associated with Perth Mint bullion coins. The Tiger release corresponds to the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese lunar calendar, a designation that drives considerable collector and buyer interest both domestically and across global markets.
The Australian Lunar Series has its roots in 1996, when The Perth Mint launched its first series of twelve coins tied to the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Each year featured a new animal design, and the series completed its first rotation in 2007. A second series followed from 2008 through 2019, and the third series began in 2020, continuing through 2031. The 2022 Tiger is the third coin in this ongoing third series.
The Perth Mint itself was established in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint and remains one of the most technically advanced minting facilities in the world. It operates under the government of Western Australia and is recognized globally for the precision and artistry of its output. The Lunar Series has become one of the most recognized annual-release programs in the international bullion market.
The Tiger holds the third position in the twelve-year zodiac cycle and is associated with strength and courage across many East Asian cultures. The Year of the Tiger drives elevated demand for Tiger-year releases within the Lunar program, and the 2022 edition attracted attention from both numismatists and bullion buyers at the time of its release.
The reverse of the coin features a detailed portrait of a tiger set against a textured background that enhances the contrast between the subject and its surroundings. The Perth Mint's design team executed the imagery with fine relief engraving, giving the tiger a dynamic, three-dimensional presence that distinguishes it from flat or generic bullion designs. The reverse also includes the coin's weight, purity, metal content, and the "P" mintmark identifying it as a Perth Mint issue, along with the year of release and the Chinese character for "Tiger."
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coinage during this period. The portrait is surrounded by the inscriptions denoting the coin's denomination and issuing authority. The overall composition reflects the Perth Mint's consistent approach to balancing numismatic artistry with the clean, standardized presentation expected from government-issued bullion.
The Perth Mint strikes this coin to a confirmed purity of .9999 fine gold, placing it among the highest purity standards available in government-issued bullion coinage. Each coin is produced under tight quality controls maintained by one of the world's most respected sovereign minting facilities. The "P" mintmark and engraved specifications serve as permanent indicators of authenticity embedded directly into the coin's design.
Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers. As an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain close relationships with the leading numismatic grading and authentication services in the industry. For collectors interested in third-party certification, coins of this caliber are well-suited for submission to either service.
Brilliant Uncirculated is the standard condition grade for Perth Mint bullion coins, indicating a freshly struck piece that has not entered circulation and shows no wear. BU coins from The Perth Mint typically display sharp relief, well-defined details, and surfaces consistent with new production. Minor contact marks from the minting and handling process can occasionally be present but do not affect the grade classification for bullion coins at this tier.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface condition during transit. The standard tube for 2 oz Perth Mint Lunar coins holds 15 pieces, and orders at that quantity will ship in a sealed tube. Larger orders are packaged in sealed mint boxes containing multiple tubes. Packaging is handled carefully to maintain the integrity of the coin from our facility through to delivery.
Pricing for the 2022 2 oz Gold Lunar Tiger is tied directly to the live spot price of gold and adjusts in real time as the market moves. The premium above spot reflects a combination of factors specific to this coin: the two-ounce format, the per-ounce cost of production at a precision mint, the numismatic appeal of a limited annual release, and sustained collector demand tied to the Lunar Series program.
Two-ounce coins generally carry higher per-ounce premiums than their one-ounce equivalents due to lower production volumes and stronger collector positioning. The Tiger year designation adds additional demand pressure that can sustain premiums over time. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to give buyers a transparent picture of what they are paying relative to the underlying metal value.
The Australian Gold Lunar Series is one of the most globally recognized annual bullion programs, and the Tiger year consistently draws interest from buyers across multiple markets including North America, Asia, and Europe. The coin's legal tender status, confirmed .9999 purity, Perth Mint origin, and two-ounce weight make it straightforward to present in resale environments. Dealers, auction houses, and private buyers familiar with the series can evaluate the coin quickly based on its established specifications.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same ecosystem. Liquidity is a factor worth considering before a purchase is made, not only at the point of sale. By making competitive buyback pricing available alongside purchase pricing, we give buyers a clearer picture of the full cost of ownership from the moment they decide to buy.
The two-ounce format occupies a distinct position within the Lunar lineup, offering more substantial metal content than the standard one-ounce release while remaining accessible compared to the five- and ten-ounce versions. For buyers who want meaningful gold weight combined with the annual design appeal of the Lunar Series, the 2 oz coin represents a practical middle ground. The Tiger year is among the more demanded releases in each cycle, which supports broader market recognition for this specific edition.
The .9999 purity standard, Perth Mint craftsmanship, and legal tender backing from the Australian government combine to give this coin a strong foundation of credibility. Whether the priority is physical gold weight, the collectibility of the Lunar program, or the visual impact of a precisely engraved two-ounce coin, this release addresses all three in a single product.
We have been operating as a nationally recognized precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparent pricing, authentic products, and long-term customer relationships. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and membership in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction. As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we are also positioned to assist collectors who want graded or certified versions of coins like this one.
Our pricing structure is built around real-time market data rather than opaque markups, and we display the bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers understand both sides of the transaction before committing. Every product is verified before it reaches our customers, and our fulfillment process is designed to protect the condition of the coin from our facility through to your door. From competitive buyback pricing to responsive support, the experience is built around informed decision-making rather than sales pressure.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our full catalog, including the 2022 2 oz Gold Lunar Tiger. Rather than relying on indicative retail prices, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups or spreads applied on top. For a product like this one, where numismatic demand and production format can influence premiums meaningfully, having direct visibility into live wholesale pricing makes it significantly easier to evaluate whether current market conditions represent a favorable entry point.
Pro members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation using current wholesale bid prices, which provides a more accurate picture of liquidation value than standard retail estimates. Proprietary analytics tools allow members to track historical premiums, monitor bid/ask spread tightness, and compare this coin against alternatives within the same category. For buyers who approach precious metals with a structured, data-driven perspective, Pro adds a layer of market intelligence that is difficult to replicate through traditional retail platforms.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchase process straightforward and secure. Customers 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, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each method is integrated into a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information at every step.
The flexibility of our payment options means buyers can choose the method that best fits their preferences without being pushed toward any single approach. Whether the priority is speed, privacy, or convenience, we have structured the payment process to accommodate a broad range of customers with minimal friction.
