| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly colored design depicting a tiger cub following its proud and protective adult parent across a rocky terrain amid ferns and bamboo, rendered in vivid polychrome color application over a proof-quality silver surface. The composition evokes the strength and familial bond associated with the tiger in Chinese cultural tradition. A Chinese character for Tiger (虎) is prominently displayed above the main design, accompanied by the English inscription TIGER. The date 2022, the Perth Mint's P mintmark, and the designer's initials JM appear in the lower portion of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's annual lunar series has tracked the Chinese zodiac continuously since 1996, making the 2022 Tiger one entry in a now well-established run rather than a standalone novelty. The Tiger holds particular resonance in Chinese tradition as a symbol of strength and authority — though what drives collector demand here is less cultural sentiment than the series' consistent secondary market performance and the applied color work, which is executed via a pad-printing process directly onto the proof field.
This coin also marks one of the final years of the sixth-portrait Elizabeth II effigy before her death in September 2022 rendered the design historically closed.
