Fierce Nature - Tiger silver coin (2022 New Zealand Mint)
One of the New Zealand Mint’s rare detours from their countless pop culture ranges, Fierce Nature debuted in July with the Lion, and continues now, with the Tiger. It’s a series of two-ounce silver coins, that are shaped portraits of some of nature’s most potent beasts, employing high-relief and antique-finishing to fine effect.
We like this one even more than its predecessor, and it’s a terrific visage of what a cat looks like with the volume dial at 12. The high-relief looks to be very optimised for best effect, and the whole thing is quite striking. It’s a shame the mint doesn’t do more like this rather than a seemingly endless list of Star Wars coins, for example, as they’re clearly good at it.
The mintage remains at 2,000 pieces, and this 40 mm diameter coin is as well presented as you’d expect from the New Zealand Mint. Available now with a retail price of $199 USD.
