| Reverse description | The reverse presents a boldly sculpted tiger in high relief, lunging forward dynamically from the center of a circular decorative ring. The ring is ornately engraved with Chinese motifs and repeated tiger imagery in low relief. The Chinese character '虎' (tiger) appears within the ring at the left, and bamboo leaves are depicted in the lower left field. The curved legend 'ANNÉE DU TIGRE' runs along the right side of the coin, and the year '2022' is inscribed at the bottom of the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris lunar series, this issue aligns with the French mint's long-running practice of producing collector silver for the Asian gift-giving market, particularly around Tết and Lunar New Year. The Tiger year began February 1, 2022 — the coin's 2021 date reflects the production and licensing calendar, not the zodiac cycle itself.
