| Additional information |
The Year of the Tiger issue was the heaviest denomination Perth Mint produced in its annual lunar bullion series at that point, requiring a dedicated pressing process distinct from the smaller fractional strikes. The 2010 Tiger holds particular weight in the series — literally and commercially — because the lunar calendar's 60-year cycle means the previous Year of the Tiger fell in 1950, before Perth had developed anything close to this production capability.
Mintage was capped at 500 pieces worldwide.
