| Reverse description | A tiger cub is depicted following its parent across a rugged rocky terrain adorned with ferns and bamboo fronds, evoking a naturalistic and protective familial bond characteristic of the Lunar Series III design aesthetic. The composition is rendered in fine detail, with the adult tiger conveying strength and guardianship. The Chinese character '虎' (Tiger) appears prominently in the field, accompanied by the English inscription 'TIGER', the year of issue '2022', the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, and the designer's initials 'JM'. |

| Additional information |
Australia's Lunar Series has cycled through two complete twelve-year rounds since 1996, making 2022 the third Tiger issue Perth has produced. The .9999 fineness is a deliberate step above the more common .999 standard used by most sovereign mints, a specification Perth has maintained across the Lunar program to differentiate it in an increasingly crowded bullion market.
The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark, was introduced in 2015 — her last officially sanctioned effigy before her death in September 2022.
