The Chinese Lunar Year of the Dog begins on 16th February, 2018. People born under this lunar are thought to be honest and kind. The fourth coinage of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of the coin, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.
The coin designed by Perth Mint designer, Ing Ing Jong, and shows a German shepherd dog, lying in the grass, alongside a puppy. The Chinese character for 'dog' appears next to some Chinese peony flowers. The peony is the unofficial Chinese National Flower. It stands as a symbol of spring and female beauty and reproduction. It also represents richness, honour and high social class. It is a favoured flower for the 12th wedding anniversary.
'Year of the Dog' is written underneath. The Perth Mint mint mark appears on the right of the design.
