Wildlife Family Tigers 1 oz Silver 2013 Crystal Proof Antiqued

Wildlife Family Tigers 1 oz Silver 2013 Proof Antiqued is the first release in the collectible “Wildlife Family” series, dedicated to endangered wild animal species that require special protection. The coin is struck from 1 ounce of Ag 999 silver and stands out with its striking antiqued finish and ultra high relief, making the details of the figures and textures exceptionally crisp.

The strongest element of this edition is the use of genuine Swarovski crystals as the eyes, which give the composition depth and a realistic, “lifelike” character. The background features a motif reminiscent of animal skin, further enhancing the naturalistic feel of the design. It is a proposition for collectors seeking coins with strong artistic value, as well as for those who appreciate issues that draw attention to wildlife conservation.

The tiger motif is no coincidence. It is the largest member of the cat family and one of the fastest disappearing species on Earth — over the past century tigers have lost a significant portion of their historical range, and today’s wild populations are a fraction of what they once were. The “Wildlife Family” series serves as a reminder that without real habitat protection and curbing poaching, many icons of the world’s fauna may disappear forever.

The coin was issued in a limited mintage of 999 pieces worldwide and is offered as a collector set with a dedicated presentation box and a certificate of authenticity, further underscoring its exclusive character.

Obverse: features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and includes information on the issuing country and year of issue, the face value, as well as the silver purity.

Reverse: depicts a family of tigers in ultra high relief, with a background inspired by an animal-themed motif. The animals’ eyes are adorned with Swarovski crystals, giving the design a distinctive visual effect and collectible appeal.
