Eyes of the World: Asia, Power of the Tiger - 22,42 g - Silver Collector Coin

Known as the king of animals, the tiger has no natural enemies but many admirers throughout Asia. Since time immemorial, people have marveled at the tiger's imposing appearance and natural beauty, which are highlighted by the fiery red Swarovski® crystals that form the tiger's eyes on the third coin in the Eyes of the World series. The color symbolizes strength and energy, but for an animal of such power, the tiger is also known as a peaceful creature, although it is ready to fight whenever the opportunity arises. In the cultural history of Asia, images of the tiger aboundi. In China, where the Year of the Tiger begins on February 1, 2022, the animal has always been a symbol of strength and bravery. In Hinduism too, it plays a highly symbolic role, with the goddess Durga often depicted straddling a tiger.
