| Additional information |
The 2010 Perth Mint lunar series belongs to the second of the mint's two overlapping 12-year lunar cycles — the first having run from 1996 to 2007. Australia operates both series simultaneously, a commercial decision that has generated collector confusion and occasional secondary-market price divergence between equivalent animals across the two cycles. The Tiger year in Chinese tradition carries associations with boldness and military valor, which contributed to stronger Asian-market demand for this particular release relative to adjacent years in the series.
