| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a boldly stylised tiger rendered in a folk-art manner, its body elongated across the field with gilded yellow-and-silver striping and an exaggerated open-mouthed snarl displaying prominent teeth. Swirling decorative flourishes, sun and moon motifs, and a series of small wheel or rosette ornaments frame the composition in the surrounding field. The Cyrillic legend ГОД ТЫГРА arcs across the upper portion of the field, and the Chinese character 虎 (tiger) appears in gilded relief in the lower left, anchoring the East Asian thematic context of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Belarus has issued wildlife-themed silver rounds under its commemorative program for decades, and the lunar calendar subseries has drawn consistent collector interest across the post-Soviet space. The cubic zirconia inset, a production technique Belarus's mint has applied across numerous commemorative issues, is sourced and set prior to striking rather than added as a post-mint enhancement.
The Tiger is the 49th of the 60-year cycle, and the 2022 lunar year it commemorates began February 1st.
