The 2022 1 Kilo Australia Silver Lunar Tiger is one of the most substantial offerings in The Perth Mint's celebrated Lunar Series III program. Struck in .999 fine silver at a full kilogram, or 32.15 troy ounces, this coin occupies a distinct position among large-format sovereign bullion pieces. It carries legal tender status under Australian law and is produced by one of the world's most respected government mints.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, making it an appealing option for those who want a large-format silver piece that retains strong visual and numismatic presentation alongside its substantial metal content. Its size and weight place it firmly in the realm of collectors and serious stackers rather than casual buyers.
The Perth Mint introduced the Australian Lunar series in 1996 as a twelve-year cycle tied to the Chinese Zodiac calendar.

The Perth Mint introduced the Australian Lunar series in 1996 as a twelve-year cycle tied to the Chinese Zodiac calendar. After completing two full rotations, the mint launched Lunar Series III in 2020 to begin a third complete cycle. Each coin in the series focuses on a single zodiac animal, and 2022 marks the Year of the Tiger, giving this coin its central design motif.
The Perth Mint itself has operated continuously since 1899 and functions as a government-owned enterprise of Western Australia. It is recognized internationally for the technical precision of its coin production and the consistency of its bullion programs. The Lunar series has built a dedicated following across multiple decades, with earlier-year coins from Series I and II now commanding meaningful premiums in secondary markets due to limited original mintages and sustained collector demand.
The Tiger year holds particular cultural significance in Chinese tradition, associated with strength, courage, and leadership. The Perth Mint has consistently used these themes as inspiration for the design work in each corresponding coin, and the Series III Tiger continues that approach with a commissioned original design rather than recycled artwork from prior cycles.
The reverse of this coin features a detailed depiction of a tiger set against a natural backdrop, rendered with the high-relief engraving and fine surface detail that The Perth Mint is known for at the kilo scale. The design incorporates traditional decorative elements associated with the Lunar series, including the Chinese character for "Tiger," the year of issue, and the coin's weight and purity inscriptions. The composition is dynamic, with the tiger positioned to convey movement and presence rather than a static portrait.
The obverse carries the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as it appeared on Australian coinage prior to the transition to King Charles III, along with the legal tender face value and the "P" mint mark identifying this coin as a product of the Perth facility. At the kilo scale, every element of the design benefits from additional surface area, allowing the engraving team to achieve a level of detail that smaller denominations cannot accommodate as effectively.
The Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives the coin a clean, sharp appearance that preserves the contrast between the frosted design elements and the polished field. This finish is distinct from the standard bullion strike and contributes to the coin's visual appeal beyond its raw metal content.
Every kilo silver coin from The Perth Mint is struck to .999 fine silver and carries the mint's assurance of weight and purity backed by the Western Australian government. The "P" mint mark is a consistent identifier tied to authenticated Perth production, and the coin's specifications are inscribed directly into the design, making verification straightforward for experienced handlers and dealers alike.
We carry this coin as an authenticated product sourced through established channels from The Perth Mint and authorized distributors. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are also positioned to assist customers who want to have large-format coins like this one professionally graded, which can add an additional layer of documentation and market recognition for collector-focused buyers.
Brilliant Uncirculated, often abbreviated as BU, indicates a coin struck for collectors and bullion buyers rather than circulation, with no wear from handling and no imperfections introduced during the minting process itself. At the kilo scale, The Perth Mint packages these coins individually in a sealed plastic capsule to protect the surface during shipping and storage. This capsule is typically accompanied by a themed presentation case and a certificate of authenticity.
Individual coins purchased through us ship in protective packaging consistent with the mint's original presentation format. Because of the size and weight of a kilo coin, these are generally sold as individual units rather than in tubes or monster box quantities. Set clear expectations before purchasing: a kilo coin is a substantial physical object, and the packaging reflects that scale.
Pricing for the 2022 1 Kilo Silver Lunar Tiger is tied directly to the current spot price of silver, with a premium applied above that base reflecting the coin's format, mintage, and collector appeal. Kilo coins from The Perth Mint consistently carry higher premiums than standard one-ounce bullion coins due to the production complexity, lower mintage figures, and the Lunar series' sustained collector demand across multiple decades.
The BU designation can also influence premium levels relative to standard bullion strikes of the same coin, as the finish and presentation cater to a buyer segment willing to pay modestly more for a cleaner aesthetic. Our pricing reflects real-time silver market conditions and is structured to give buyers a transparent view of what they are paying relative to spot.
Kilo silver coins from The Perth Mint's Lunar series are recognized within both the bullion and numismatic markets, though their liquidity profile differs from that of standard one-ounce sovereigns. The larger format appeals to a more specific buyer segment, which means resale occurs most efficiently through channels that cater to serious collectors and institutional buyers rather than casual retail markets. That said, the coin's government-backed status, verifiable purity, and series recognition support a consistent resale environment.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can sell back coins like this one within the same platform where they purchased. Competitive buyback pricing is available, and we encourage buyers to consider the bid and ask spread before committing to any large-format purchase so they understand the full cost of ownership over time rather than focusing solely on acquisition price.
For buyers who want meaningful silver exposure in a single coin, the kilo format delivers 32.15 troy ounces in one government-issued, mint-sealed piece. Compared to accumulating the same weight across dozens of standard coins, a kilo coin simplifies storage, handling, and documentation while maintaining the authentication standards of a recognized sovereign mint.
The Lunar series carries a track record that few other silver programs can match. With earlier Tiger years from Series I and II showing strong collector retention, the 2022 issue benefits from that established context. The BU finish and original design artwork make this particular coin well-suited for those who view large-format silver as something beyond a pure weight play, without crossing into numismatic territory where pricing becomes highly subjective.
We built this platform around the principle that buyers deserve straightforward pricing, authentic products, and real support throughout the entire process, not just at the point of purchase. 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.
As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we are equipped to assist buyers who want professionally graded documentation on significant pieces like this kilo coin. Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and our pricing is structured around real-time market data rather than static retail markups. Whether you are adding to a silver position or acquiring a specific Lunar year coin, we provide the transparency and reliability that a purchase of this scale warrants.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including large-format coins like the 2022 1 Kilo Silver Lunar Tiger. Rather than navigating retail pricing structures that obscure where premiums are actually coming from, Pro members see how this coin is priced and traded at the wholesale level in real time. Portfolio valuation is based on live wholesale bid pricing, giving members a realistic view of current liquidation value rather than an estimate based on retail or spot alone.
For a kilo coin with a premium profile shaped by both silver content and collector demand, Pro's historical premium analysis and bid/ask spread tools are particularly relevant. They allow members to evaluate how this coin's premium has moved over time and compare it objectively against other large-format or Lunar series products using data rather than assumptions.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make transactions as straightforward as possible. Customers can pay 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 method is processed through a secure framework designed to protect buyer information and transaction integrity from start to finish.
For a purchase at the kilo coin level, wire transfer is a common choice given the transaction size, but all accepted payment methods provide the same level of security and transaction support. Our fulfillment process is reliable and consistent regardless of which payment option you select.
