Chinese Lunar Calendar at the Mint

The Chinese lunar calendar is an important motif used in numismatics. For years, mints around the world have been drawing on this inspiration to prepare special collections. The most famous and most popular of these is the Lunar series issued by Australia's The Perth Mint. Of course, coins from this series can be found in the Mennica Skarbowa's offer, as can the Royal Canadian Mint's Lunar Lotus series.

The Moon Tradition of The Perth Mint

The Australian Mint has been following the Chinese calendar since 1996. That year, a gold coin featuring the image of a rat marked the beginning of the Lunar I series. Since then, collectors and investors have been able to admire two complete series, including bullion and collector coins. Each series consists of 12 coins corresponding to the signs of the zodiac, namely the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. In 2020, the mint launched the Lunar III series, which includes the Year of the Tiger 2022 coins.

A beautiful investment in gold

The coins featuring the image of a tiger were minted from high-grade material. They are characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and artistic design. They are created with attention to the smallest detail.

Coins from The Perth Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint captivate with their original design, in which designers sought to reflect the most important characteristics of the symbol and the animal. Hence, they feature a majestic image of a tiger towering over its surroundings, emphasizing power, authority, and confidence.

The uniqueness of the 2022 Year of the Tiger coins is also evidenced by their limited mintage. Mints are preparing limited editions, thanks to which the coins have not only investment value, but also collector's value.

Investing in bullion coins

The 2022 Year of the Tiger bullion coins are an ideal choice for those looking to diversify their portfolio. Investment coins allow you to invest your capital and protect your savings from the negative effects of inflation. Investors can expect profits in the long term, as precious metal prices remain on a long-term upward trend.

Collectible coins as gifts

A coin bearing the image of a zodiac sign will be the perfect gift for people born in a given year. This is especially true given that, according to Chinese tradition, specific character traits and predispositions are attributed to each sign, and therefore to each person.

People born under the sign of the Tiger are courageous, impulsive, stubborn, energetic in their actions, and enjoy competition. They believe in their abilities and enjoy challenges, and are also willing to take risks. They are sincere, generous, and ready to help. This is how people born in 2022 will be, but also those born in previous years when this animal was the patron: 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950, etc.

Coins, both bullion and collectible, given as gifts to mark births or anniversaries will not only have sentimental value, but will also pay off in the future. In the case of gold, the annual rate of return over the last decade has been 36%.
