1998 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Tiger BU (Series I)
1998 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Tiger BU (Series I)
In 1998, Australia celebrated the Year of the Tiger with a stunning gold release that continues to captivate observers. This coin represents the third design issued in the celebrated twelve-coin Lunar Series I. Struck with a limited mintage of just 9,085 pieces, this small treasure is a testament to precise craftsmanship and scarce production. The reverse side of the coin showcases a powerful tiger leaping gracefully through tall grass, capturing the energy and spirit of the animal. Alongside this dynamic depiction is the traditional Chinese character representing the tiger. On the obverse, the elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf is displayed, surrounded by inscriptions detailing the weight, purity, and face value. Struck from 1/10 ounce of extremely pure 0.9999 fine gold, this legal tender coin is fully backed by the Australian government. The inscriptions on the piece confirm its status, reading ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 15 DOLLARS, and 1/10OZ 9999 GOLD, alongside the 1998 year of issue.
