2018 1 oz Niue Silver $2 Year of the Dog BU

An exciting new release from the New Zealand Mint celebrates the Lunar Year of the Dog. The 2018 1 oz Niue Silver $2 Year of the Dog is a must-have for any collectors born in the Year of the Dog!

The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on a 12-year cycle with each year dedicated to a specific animal. The animals included in this cycle are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. People born within the year on the calendar are thought to share similar traits as that animal. Those born in the Year of the Dog are said to be loyal, energetic, and brave. Based on their calendar year, people deduce their lucky numbers, have fortunes told, and even can deduce their romantic compatibility with a prospective date

The New Zealand Mint has had a long history of creating quality, detailed coins, and this latest release is no exception.

The obverse contains a profile of Queen Elizabeth II, encircled by the inscriptions of the year of mintage, the face value, “ELIZABETH II”, and “NIUE”. The reverse holds the image of three dogs, ready for action, alongside the Chinese character for a dog in polished relief and inscriptions of the weight and purity of the coin.
