The penultimate animal to feature in the 12-year cycle of the Lunar Calendar is the dog. Perth Mint’s popular Lunar Series coin collections have been ongoing since 1996 when Lunar Series I was introduced. However, silver coins in this series didn’t debut until 1999, three years after the first gold coins in the collection. Right now, 2006 1/2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Dog Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2006 1/2 oz Australian Silver Lunar Dog Coins offered here is individually packaged in an acrylic capsule. This coin was the 11th in the overall 12-year cycle of the Zodiac, but due to the Perth Mint’s delayed release of silver coins in Lunar Series I, this coin appeared eighth among the silver issues in the series.
The Dog is the eleventh animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. In Chinese culture, dogs are symbols of loyalty, honesty, and faithfulness. They are believed to be excellent companions and guardians, always alert and ready to protect their loved ones. People born in these years are believed to possess traits associated with the loyal and protective dog.
The obverse of the 2006 Australian Silver Lunar Dog features a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth-generation effigy of the Queen and it was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley. Initially used on Royal Mint coins, it featured on Perth Mint coins from 1998 until 2018/2019.
On the reverse side of 2006 1/2 oz Silver Lunar Dog Coins, you’ll find a depiction of the German shepherd. German Shepherds were originally bred for herding and guarding sheep in Germany, but they have become one of the most popular and versatile dog breeds in the world today. They excel in various roles, including police work, search and rescue, assistance for individuals with disabilities, and even acting in movies and television shows.
