| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed, ultra-high relief frontal portrait of a roaring tiger's head dominating the central field, rendered with exceptional sculptural depth emphasising the animal's musculature, fur texture, and bared teeth. A small Chinese character '虎' (tiger) appears above the head at the upper centre. The background field is decorated with a pattern of overlapping wave scales, framed by a Greek key meander border. The curved legend 'YEAR OF THE TIGER' arcs along the upper periphery in stylised lettering evoking East Asian typography, while the date '2022' is inscribed at the bottom of the border. |

| Additional information |
Fiji's lunar series issues are struck under license with the Perth Mint's infrastructure behind production, though issued under Fijian authority as a Pacific sovereign — a legal arrangement common among smaller island nations seeking to participate in the bullion commemorative market without maintaining their own mint facilities. The Tiger year in the Chinese zodiac cycle falls every twelve years; 2022 marked the Year of the Water Tiger specifically, a combination that recurs only once every sixty years within the full stem-branch calendar system.
