| Reverse description | Central design depicts a majestic tiger in repose, lying upon a rocky ground and facing left, with a bare, branch-filled tree rendered in fine detail occupying the upper right of the field. The Chinese character '虎' (Tiger) appears in the left field in bold strokes. The inscription 'Year of the Tiger' is engraved in an elegant italic script along the lower portion of the field. The Perth Mint 'P' mintmark is positioned to the upper right of the design, near the tree. The composition is framed by a raised rim with a recessed inner border, characteristic of Perth Mint bullion issues. |

| Additional information |
The 2010 Year of the Tiger issue was part of Perth Mint's Lunar Series II, launched in 2008 as a successor to the original Lunar Series I that ran from 1996 to 2007. The one-kilogram silver format targets bullion investors and high-end collectors simultaneously — a dual market Perth has cultivated aggressively since the 1990s.
The tiger holds particular weight in this calendar cycle: 2010 marked the Year of the Metal Tiger, a combination that recurs only once every sixty years under the traditional sexagenary cycle.
