The 12-year cycle of the Zodiac was established by the Jade Emperor with one animal representing each year in the cycle. The animals were assigned their position on the Zodiac by the Jade Emperor based on the timing of each one’s arrival to a meeting with the Jade Emperor. The cycle remains the same, with each animal featured in the same position each time through. The Year of the Tiger is third in the series each time.
All of the 1 Gram Gold Argor-Heraeus Lunar Tiger Bars available here come with individual packaging. The bars are packaged inside sealed blisterpacks that include an assay within the blisterpack.

The obverse of Gold Argor-Heraeus Lunar Tiger Bars comes with a depiction of a tiger on the prowl. Tigers are large and powerful predators, but rely more on stealth and surprise attacks to catch prey rather than overwhelming force. The field also includes the Chinese symbol for a tiger.
