Antiqued tiger

Antiquing is a treatment we use to tone the natural lustre of a silver coin before individually hand finishing it to imitate the surface abrasions often seen on ancient artefacts .
Used to stunning effect on this 2oz Year of the Tiger coin , it ’ s a fitting reminder that the Chinese lunar calendar is thousands of years old .
The extremely limited collectable ’ s superb design portrays a tiger and its cub in an intricately composed landscape featuring a river flowing through a rocky terrain with bamboo , a plant symbolic of honour , virtue , and modesty .
