2006 $1 Year of The Dog 1oz Silver Gilded Coin

In Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Dog are regarded as loyal, trustworthy, honest and ethical. The coin’s reverse depicts a German Shepherd, which has been gilded in 24-carat gold. The design includes the Chinese character for ‘dog’ and the 2006 year-date. These elements appear within a border of bats and clouds symbolising health, peace and prosperity.
