2025 Niue $2 Fact or Fiction: The Tassie Tiger Lives! 1oz Silver Coin
Regular price
$169.00
Sale
Sighted constantly in the wilds of Tasmania, periodically on the Mainland, and bizarrely, sometimes spotted in the mountains of Papua New Guinea, the Tasmanian Tiger seems to be having a laugh on the Australian public. Is it true that the last Tassie Tiger died in a Hobart Zoo in 1936? Or is this elusive carnivorous marsupial still roaming the bushlands of Australia (and PNG!)?
The Tassie Tiger Lives! Fact... or Fiction?
Unlike the black panthers that supposedly inhabit (really? Come on...) NSW's Blue Mountains, and Gippsland in Victoria, the Tassie Tiger is not actually a big cat. Unsurprisingly, the early settlers named it as such for the tiger-like stripes on its rump. Indeed, it is perhaps those stripes that have allowed the Tiger to remain out of view so successfully for so long.
Minted from one ounce of 99.9% pure silver, this cool collectable features a Tasmanian Tiger joey playfully batting at a Blue Tongue Lizard and deciding whether to have it for dinner. Featuring superb detail and sparkling metallic background colour, the "Fact or Fiction: The Tassie Tiger Lives!" silver coin is limited to a mintage of just 300 worldwide...
Currently in production. Due to arrive Early September 2025.
