Silver Ounce 2022 Year of the Tiger, Coin from Samoa - detailed information
| ||||||
The currency of Samoa is the Tālā, the name of which is a transliteration of the English words Dollar; it was introduced in 1967. On coinage sometimes the English word is inscribed, especially on commemorative and bullion coins not intended to circulate within the country. Samoa has authorised some private mints to issue coins under its jurisdiction, which come in a variety of sizes - including in the popular silver ounce (1 oz silver) format, such as this one. This silver coin decorated with Czech crystal represents the sign of the Chinese zodiac for the year 2022, which is the Tiger. The Eastern Zodiac, also known as the Chinese Zodiac, contains twelve signs - twelve animals that represent twelve temperaments with both positive and negative traits. Unlike the classic horoscope used in Europe, each of these signs belongs to a whole year, and once all the animals take turns, the twelve-year cycle begins anew. The year 2022 is dedicated to the third animal of the Chinese zodiac - the tiger. Why this beast? Legend tells of the Jade Emperor who ruled the heavens and sought someone to guard his palace. Twelve creatures - a rat, a buffalo, a tiger, a hare, a dragon, a snake, a horse, a goat, a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a pig competed for the emperor's favour. Their position in the palace was to be decided by a great race. The strong buffalo was the favourite, but little did he know that a cunning rat had settled on his back and jumped off just before the finish line, depriving him of the victory. The third to finish was the agile tiger. People who are born under the influence of the tiger are bold, charming, unbridled, confident and energetic. They love adventure and taking risks. They demand discipline, but can be disobedient themselves. | ||||||
