| Reverse description | A powerful tiger rendered in high relief is depicted in a dynamic crouching stance atop a rocky outcrop, poised as if ready to spring forward, with fine engraved detailing conveying the animal's musculature and striped pelt. The Chinese character 虎 (Tiger) appears in the upper left field alongside the English inscription TIGER. The date 2022 is inscribed below the Chinese character, and the Perth Mint's P mintmark is situated to the left of the design near the lower field. |

| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's lunar series has run continuously since 1996, making the 2022 Tiger the fourth time the zodiac cycle has reached that animal in the program's history — though the first three iterations appeared under earlier portrait series and different reverse treatments. The one-tenth ounce gold format targets the entry-level bullion buyer rather than the collector, and mintages for lunar fractionals from Perth have tightened considerably since the series gained a serious secondary market following in mainland China during the 2010s.
