Member Price: S$1,000.00

The one and only Lunar Tiger gold coin of the Bhutan Lunar and Attraction series, this coin is limited to only 2,000 pieces and struck in intricate minting relief from 1/4 oz of 999.9 fine gold.
2022 marks the commencement of a new lunar almanac cycle with the year of the tiger. The Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan proudly issues the Happiest Lunar Coin Series – 2022 Bhutan Lunar Tiger coins, exclusively minted and marketed by The Singapore Mint. This new launch is the seventh coin issue of the Bhutan Lunar and Attraction series (2016-2027).
The formidable tiger appears full of vigor, with earthly elements of leaf-like stripes and vines, emphasizing its prowess in Bhutan’s evergreen forests.
The reverse coin design features Paro Takstang, also known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, a tranquil monastery especially revered by the Buddhist and Bhutanese people. Built in 1692, Paro Taktsang is precariously perched on a cliff over 3,000 meters above sea level. Stunning in both its structure and location, the Tiger’s Nest Monastery is undoubtedly an apt and prominent attraction to be featured on the Year of the Tiger Coins.
