| Additional information |
The Year of the Tiger series from the Perth Mint coincided with the 2010 lunar cycle marking the metal Tiger, distinguished in the Chinese zodiac's sixty-year cycle from the more commonly referenced twelve-year one. Perth's lunar bullion program, launched in 1996, is notable for guaranteeing strictly limited annual mintages — this two-ounce issue was capped at 8,000 pieces worldwide, a figure the mint has consistently honored across the series.
