Lunar Series (Year of the Tiger)

2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950

Every year the Chinese look forward to the coming sign of the year which they believe will play a big part on how fate will affect them for the rest of the year.

On February 14, 2010, the year of the tiger begins and what better way for those born in 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950 to celebrate than by owing a permanent reminder of the profound influence their sign has on their personality and destiny.

Full of life, fearless, noble and bursting with vigour are just some of the traits of those born in the Year of the Tiger. The design on the $10 gold proof coin perfectly captures the tiger, a symbol of power and courage. Produced in 99.9% pure gold makes this coin, like the tiger, charismatic and easily liked. The 2007 & 2008 gold coins in the Lunar Series both sold out and the 2009 coin is very close to also doing likewise.
