2018 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dog Coin .9999 Fine BU - Royal Australian Mint

The Royal Australian Mint commemorates the Year of the Dog with a new stunning release of 2018 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dog Coin, exclusively distributed by PAMP. The Royal Australian Mint followed the concept of other international mints and released its own Gold Lunar series in 2007 with the Year of Pig Gold Coin.

Lunar Series Gold Coins celebrate the 12-year Chinese Lunar Calendar and feature the new animal on the calendar every year. For this reason, the coin's reverse changes design annually, while the obverse is always the same and depicts an Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. In 2018, the coin's reverse features a highly detailed image of two dogs of the beagle breed and the Chinese character for “Dog”.

People born within the year of a particular animal are said to carry similar traits. For example, those born in the Year of the Dog are loyal, energetic, and brave.

The mint offers these coins in convenient sizes of 1/20 oz, 1/10 oz, ¼ oz, ¼ oz, ½ oz, and 1 oz with denomination assigned to each size. These gold coins are struck in high detail and quality by the Royal Australian Mint and will be a great addition to any investment portfolio.
