Design:
The reverse of this coin features a tiger design backed by the Australian opal. The opal creates a gorgeous colorized coin with blue, green, and turquoise tones. The coin's title, “Year of the Tiger,” is above the center. Cinerarias are found on the bottom half of the coin, and an intricate pattern encircles the entire coin. Lastly, Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark is also found on this face.
The obverse bears the popular effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, initially crafted by Jody Clark. The words “Elizabeth II,” “Australia,” and the face value of “1 Dollar” all surround the image.
