Perth Mint has produced the Lunar Series gold coins since 1996. The year of the Tiger 1998 was the third year the Gold Lunar was produced.

The obverse features the head of state of the British Commonwealth, Elizabeth II, along with the weight of the coin, its purity and face value. The face value of the 1 ounce coin is A$100.

The reverse of the coin features a tiger leaping in grass and the Chinese character for ‘tiger’.

The mintage of a mere 16,907 coins make this coin a rarity!
