The Australia 50 Cents Lunar Calendar Series I Year of the Dog Proof Silver Coin 2006 is a superb collectible from the Perth Mint’s celebrated Lunar Series I, honoring the Chinese zodiac. Struck in 1/2 oz of .999 fine silver, this proof-quality coin radiates elegance and symbolic meaning. The reverse depicts a detailed image of a dog standing proudly with its tail down, embodying loyalty, honesty, and companionship. The design is framed by a polished black field, featuring the inscription 2006, the Chinese character for “Dog,” the weight and purity 1/2 oz 999 SILVER, and the Perth Mint’s P mintmark. On the obverse, the coin presents the iconic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, encircled by the inscriptions ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, 50 CENTS. The Year of the Dog, according to Chinese tradition, symbolizes faithfulness, reliability, and protection, making this coin meaningful beyond its numismatic value. As part of the Lunar Series I, it holds special significance for collectors worldwide.
