The Royal Australian Mint is continuing its Lunar series. This beautiful 2018 1 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Dog Coin .9999 Fine BU is now available!

Lunar coin series are some of the most appealing coins on the market. They offer collectors and investors the chance to celebrate each year on the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Lunar calendar. The Royal Australian Mint began its Lunar coin series in 2007. Each new release upholds its dedication to appealing design and quality craftsmanship.

The Lunar calendar honors a separate animal each year of the cycle. Those born in the year of a specific animal are said to share characteristics with that animal. People born in the Year of the Dog are friendly, honest, trustworthy, and have a strong sense of duty. Depending on which year of the cycle you’re born into, you are either Water, Metal, Earth, Fire, or Wood. Those born into 2018 will be Earth Dogs. They have lucky numbers of three, four, and nine.

This gorgeous coin features a stylized image of two dogs. Additionally, it showcases the Chinese character for a dog on its reverse. The obverse showcases a profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Depictions encircle her. These depictions are the 12 signs and moon phases of the Chinese Zodiac. It is .999 fine gold and Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

This beautiful gold coin is available in a variety of sizes. Sizes range from 1/20 oz, 1/10 oz, ¼ oz, to ½ oz. This makes an affordable investment option for any collector.
