Obverse

The 2006 Australian Silver Lunar Dog Coins feature Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side. This specific rendition, crafted by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998 for the Royal Mint, signifies the fourth portrayal of the Queen during her reign.

Reverse

On the reverse design of the 2006 1 oz Silver Lunar Dog Coin, you will discover a captivating depiction of the German shepherd. Positioned in a seated pose atop a mound of rocks, the dog is beautifully complemented by lush foliage that emerges gracefully from the crevices, lending a touch of natural splendor to the scene.

History

The Lunar Year of the Dog holds cultural significance in various East Asian countries, including China, Korea, and Vietnam. During this time, people celebrate with vibrant festivities, family gatherings, and traditions. In Chinese culture, for example, people often exchange red envelopes called “hongbao” filled with money as a gesture of good luck and prosperity. Traditional lion and dragon dances are also performed during the Lunar New Year celebrations, adding to the festive atmosphere.
