The Chinese Lunar Calendar follows a 12-year cycle in which a different animal represents those born in each of those years. The cycle always starts with the Year of the Mouse and concludes with the Year of the Pig. Once the Year of the Pig has concluded, the cycle starts over again with the Year of the Mouse.
Within the cycle of any given animal, there are five different versions of the animal representing the elements of Earth. While the individual animals appear once every 12 years, the different versions appear once every 60 years. For example, 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger. The Water Tiger last appeared in 1962.
Queen Elizabeth II features on the obverse side of 2022 Australian Gold Lunar Tiger Coins. This effigy of the Queen is the sixth to grace Australian coins and is the first since 1966 to showcase her shoulders and neckline in full within the portrait field. The Queen is once again set in right-profile relief and wears the George IV State Diadem Crown in this particular design.
