For this design, artist Monique Reeves portrays a tiger turned back left toward its tail with its jaws open so you can see its fierce teeth. The image is highly detailed and you can see the tuft of hair on its chest and the characteristic stripes across its body. To the left of the tiger is the Chinese character for tiger and ‘TIGER 2022’. Further left is a ‘P’, Perth Mint’s mint mark.
Reeves’ initials, ‘MR’, are seen in the rock.
Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse of this coin with her portrait by Jody Clark. She is shown here facing the right with her diadem crown, dangle earrings and a necklace. Above her head is written ‘Elizabeth II Australia’. Below her portrait is ‘½ oz 9999 Au’ and ‘50 DOLLARS’. On the queen’s right shoulder are Clark’s initials, ‘JC’.
