Extremely popular by theme, but yet very special for its excellent design, this new lunar coin is a vivid representation of the Year of the Dog in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The coin comes in impressive 3 oz antique finished silver 925, 55 mm in diameter, and contains two UV-printed yellow eyes.

The coin designers took maximum advantage of modern mintage technologies. The relief Labrador Retriever engraved on the reverse is absolutely amazing – detailed and realistic as if with the fur of a real animal! With the mintage of only 500 pieces worldwide, the coin comes housed in a stylized kennel-like packaging.

Ranking as the eleventh animal in Chinese zodiac, the Dog is the symbol of loyalty and honesty. People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They are honest, friendly, faithful, loyal, smart and have a strong sense of responsibility.
