The tiger is another coin in the series that can best be described as the queen's Asian beasts. The Haiyantang Zodiac Fountain series will consist of 12 coins and is inspired by the bronze heads located in front of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing. These heads showed the figures of Chinese zodiac signs. They were designed by the Italian painter Giuseppe Castiglione in the mid-18th century. In 1860, during the Second Opium War, they were looted and scattered around the world. Five of them have still not been found. The tiger represents the head of the zodiacal animal combined with an anthropomorphic body. 2022 is the year of the water Tiger. The Water Tiger is a symbol of both strength and the ability to act smoothly. The tiger contains 3 ounces of pure 999 silver, struck in high relief. The coin is finished with a mix of black proof and oxide and has an agate inset. Limited edition of 500 pieces. The reverse shows the figure of a seated Tiger holding in his hand a ball filled with agate, which reflects the element of water. The name of the series is placed at the bottom of the coin. The whole is complemented by beautiful Chinese ornaments. The obverse shows an image taken from the contemporary image of a fountain with a water clock and the facade of the building. In the lower part of the obverse, on the sides, twelve zodiac figures from the Chinese lunar calendar are shown. In the center there is an image of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin is delivered in a dedicated packaging with a certificate of authenticity.
