| Obverse description | The obverse features the national emblem of the People's Republic of China at center, depicting Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars arranged in a semicircle, all within a wreath of grain stalks tied at the base. The legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) is inscribed in Chinese characters along the upper periphery, following the scalloped contour of the coin. The date 2022 appears in the lower field in Arabic numerals. The design is rendered in high-relief proof finish against a mirror-polished field, with decorative scrollwork accents in the lower corners complementing the lotus-petal shaped flan. |

| Additional information |
China's annual lunar gold bullion series has been issued continuously since 1982, making the Tiger one of the most anticipated releases in a forty-year run. The 1000-gram format sits at the apex of the denomination ladder for the series, with mintages typically held to the low hundreds — the People's Bank has never published exact figures for the largest gold pieces, a deliberate opacity that has frustrated registry set collectors for years.
The 2022 Tiger marks the third time the Tiger year has appeared in the modern series, following 1986 and 1998.
