In the middle of August we already began to prepare what will be 2022 numismatically speaking. Every year there are many Mint Houses around the world that mint coins to celebrate the animal that corresponds to the approaching new year, according to the Chinese horoscope. From February 1, 2022 to January 21, 2023 we will be in the Year of the Tiger, although for the Chinese calendar we will be in the year 4720.
The first, or one of the first, to issue a coin for the occasion is the Royal Canadian Mint, which already has for sale a one-ounce piece of pure silver for the animal corresponding to the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Tiger.
While Westerners consider the lion as the king of animals, since ancient times in China this honor belongs to the tiger, which is considered a mysterious and inviolable animal, a symbol of ferocity, bravery and danger. People fear him so much that even mentioning him is impressive.
Just as the West distinguishes human character according to star constellations, the traditional Chinese concept also believes that people with different zodiac signs have a different character. For example, those born in the year of the tiger are independent and possess strong self-esteem, they like to act alone and prefer that others obey them. In addition, due to their recklessness, they frequently fail.
To commemorate the Year of the Tiger, Canadian artist Lily Kao presents a stylized representation of a cloth tiger, a popular form of traditional Chinese art often given to children as a wish for prosperity. This Tiger is a symbol of courage and power, and it is also meant to ward off evil. His large eyes, smiling mouth and prominent head give him an air of innocence and joy, while the markings on his forehead form the Chinese character for "King."
To the left of the main motif is the Chinese character representing the Tiger. The top part shows the issuing country "Canada" and the year "2022". At the bottom is the face value "$ 15."
The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, designed by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt in 2003.
