Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Year of the Tiger; Gold Proof" coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the tiger, an animal that holds significant cultural and symbolic meaning in many Asian cultures. The tiger is depicted in a dynamic pose, as if it is about to pounce, and the coin's gold finish gives it a luxurious and regal appearance. The coin's design is the work of British artist and designer, Harry Brockway, who is known for his exceptional skill in creating detailed and visually striking designs for coins.
