Australia 1 dollar Year of the Dog PR70 PCGS silver coin 2006

The Australia 1 Dollar Year of the Dog silver coin 2006 from the Perth Mint’s renowned Lunar Series I celebrates the eleventh animal in the Chinese zodiac. Struck in .999 fine silver with a flawless PR70DCAM certification by PCGS, it represents the highest standard of proof quality. The reverse depicts a standing dog with a thick coat and calm, watchful stance. To the left runs the year 2006, while the Chinese character for “Dog” is placed above the animal. At the bottom appear the inscriptions 1 oz 999 SILVER and the Perth Mint “P” mintmark. A beaded border frames the composition.

The obverse carries Ian Rank-Broadley’s elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscriptions ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1 DOLLAR. The mirror-like background contrasts beautifully with the frosted portrait.

In Chinese tradition, the Dog symbolizes loyalty, protection, and friendship, making this coin not only a cultural emblem but also a meaningful collector’s piece. With its proof finish, perfect PR70 grade, and limited mintage, this release is among the most desirable of the Lunar Series I program.
