The Quadrant Tiger Set consists of four coins that each comprise one-quarter of a circle. When arranged together, the coins form a circle with a square in the center – reminiscent of some of the first currency of the Chinese Empire. These ‘ban liang’ coins were first cast during the Qin Dynasty around 200 BCE. The four contemporary releases portray a unified composition comprising four tigers by a waterfall with select colored elements.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure silver, each coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,500 of the Year of the Tiger Quadrant 2022 1oz Silver Four-Coin Set.
