2006 1 oz Silver Lunar Dog BU Australian Perth Mint (Series I)
Add a highly collectible zodiac issue to your holdings with the 2006 1 oz Silver Lunar Dog BU Australian Perth Mint (Series I). Struck in 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin is part of the acclaimed Perth Mint Lunar Series I, one of the most respected modern bullion programs worldwide.
The 2006 release honors the Year of the Dog, the eleventh animal in the Chinese zodiac cycle. Individuals born under the Dog sign are traditionally associated with loyalty, honesty, and reliability—qualities reflected in the coin’s detailed reverse design.
Launched in 1996, the Perth Mint’s Lunar Series I introduced a new reverse design each year based on the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. Running through 2007, the series quickly gained global popularity due to its limited mintages, annually changing designs, and high-quality craftsmanship. Today, Series I coins are especially sought after, as they represent the original run of Australia’s lunar bullion program and are no longer in production.
