Happy Chinese New Year 2022 PNC with Coloured Dragon $1 Perth Mint Coin

Lunar New Year also called the Spring Festival in China, is the most important of the traditional festivals celebrated by Asian cultures throughout the world. The Year of the Tiger begins on 1 February 2022. The third animal in the 12-year cycle, the Tiger is a born leader, brave, adventurous, competitive and confident. Birth years for Tigers include 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 and 2010. Those born under this sign tend to be very active, courageous, persistent, stubborn and imperious, with a tendency to irritability. In Chinese culture, Tigers are regarded as the guardians of children, and infants wear shoes and hats with tiger designs to protect against evil spirits. Tigers are most compatible with those born under the Horse and Dog and least compatible with the Monkey and Snake. In 2022, lucky numbers for Tigers are 1, 3 and 7; lucky colours are green, blue, red and yellow; and the lucky. flower is the cineraria.
