1998 Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Tiger BU (Series I)
1998 Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Tiger BU (Series I)
In 1998, a striking gold coin was released as part of the celebrated twelve-coin Lunar Series I. Minted with an exceptional gold purity of 0.9999, this legal tender release represents a fusion of precise craftsmanship and symbolic artistry, backed fully by the Australian government. The reverse of the coin captures a dynamic scene of a tiger leaping gracefully through tall grass. Accompanying this powerful image is the traditional Chinese character representing the tiger, celebrating the lunar calendar year. This design is highly limited, with a total mintage of just 16,907 pieces. On the obverse, the coin displays the elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf. Surrounding the effigy, the inscriptions confirm the coin's weight of one ounce, its high purity of 0.9999 gold, the country name Australia, the year 1998, and the face value of 100 Dollars.
