MDM at Art in Coins 
This beautiful 5 ounce silver proof coin belongs to the impressive Mother of Pearl Lunar Series and celebrates the 2022 “Year of the Tiger”.

It is a unique piece of art which results from the technically elaborate coloring and shaping process. A stunning 45 mm natural Mother of Pearl inlay is surrounded by a 65 mm .999 pure silver coin. The design of this inlay taking shape through ultrasonic waves together with the colorization can take up to 3 months in a sophisticated production process.

The reverse of the coin portrays an roaring Tiger, inlayed in genuine Mother of Pearl. The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Tigers, considered to be brave, cruel, forceful, and terrifying, are the symbol of power and lordliness in Chinese culture and are the 3rd animal in the 12 year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac Calendar. 

In ancient times, people usually compared emperors or kings with the tigers. Tigers are also considered as a patron deity for children and parents will prepare the shoes and hats with tiger designs for their babies.

The Chinese zodiac Tiger sign entitles people born in the Years of the Tiger to be natural leaders. They are adventurous, ambitious and have a strong sense of justice, but maybe also a little arrogant and impetuous.

5 ounces of .999 pure silver in proof quality finish.
Genuine Mother of Pearl Inlay.
