| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed composition depicting an adult tiger and its cub resting upon a rocky outcrop, surrounded by lush bamboo stalks and fern fronds that frame the central group. The design captures the power and grace of the tiger in a naturalistic East Asian artistic style, with careful attention to fur texture and the animals' interaction. The Chinese character 虎 (Tiger) appears prominently in the field, accompanied by the English legend TIGER, the date 2022, and the Perth Mint's distinctive P mintmark. |

Australia's lunar series has run long enough to complete two full twelve-year cycles, and this kilogram issue marks the Tiger's third appearance in Perth Mint's bullion program. The 2022 date is significant for one specific cataloging reason: it introduced Jody Clark's sixth portrait of Elizabeth II, making transition-year pieces the first kilogram lunar strikes to carry that effigy — she died in September of the same year, freezing the portrait in final-issue status across the entire Australian bullion lineup.
