2022 50c Lunar Year of the Tiger Uncirculated Tetra-Decagon Coin – CuNi

In 2022 we celebrate the third of the twelve-year cycle in the Lunar Calendar with the Year of the Tiger. People who are born under this sign are said to have characteristics of determination, self-assurance and leadership. This tetra-decagon shaped coin will make an ideal addition to a collection or an auspicious traditional gift for Chinese New Year.

Sheng Xiao, the Chinese Zodiac, has a twelve-year cycle, with each year represented by one of twelve animals. Each animal has its own unique characteristics that are shared by people born under their sign. 2022 is the Year of the Tiger, the third sign in the Zodiac. People born under the sign of the Tiger are outgoing, charming and strong.

The Chinese calendar also rotates through the elements of earth, fire, water, metal and wood as part of a larger 60-year cycle. In 2022 we honour the Water Tiger and people born under this sign are confident, curious and intelligent.
