Each 2006 5 oz Australian Silver Lunar Dog Coin is presented in a protective plastic capsule. This 5 oz silver coin in the Lunar Series I is one of the larger weights available and often has one of the lowest mintages in the series. The 2006 5 oz Lunar Dog had a mintage of just 5,080 coins.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2006 Australian Silver Lunar Dog features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen is shown in right-profile relief, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
Reverse
The reverse of the 2006 5 oz Silver Lunar Dog Coin depicts a German shepherd. Renowned for their intelligence and trainability, German Shepherds are ranked as the third most intelligent dog breed, following the Border Collie and the Poodle. Their loyalty and protective nature make them excellent service dogs and companions.
History
People born in the Dog year are often described as good listeners and excellent communicators, able to understand and empathize with the perspectives of others. The Dog is one of the most popular and widely celebrated animals in the Chinese zodiac, with numerous festivals and celebrations held in its honor, particularly during the Dog year.
