China Macau 100 patacas Dog Year Lunar Calendar PR68 PCGS silver coin 1994

The China Macau 100 Patacas silver coin dated 1994 belongs to the Lunar Calendar series and is dedicated to the Year of the Dog, a symbol of loyalty, honesty, and protection in Chinese tradition. Issued during the final years of Portuguese administration in Macau, this coin reflects the cultural fusion of Chinese zodiac themes and Macau’s architectural heritage.

The obverse features a finely engraved dog, shown standing in a confident and alert pose. The animal’s fur texture, facial features, upright ears, and curved tail are rendered with precision, giving the design depth and realism. Chinese characters appear on both sides of the dog, identifying the lunar theme and Macau, while the denomination “100 PATACAS” is clearly inscribed along the lower rim. A beaded border frames the composition, and the reflective proof fields highlight the raised details with strong contrast.
The reverse showcases a detailed depiction of the Ruins of St. Paul’s façade, Macau’s most iconic landmark. The baroque architectural elements, columns, niches, and layered structure are carefully engraved. Surrounding the design are stars and the inscription “MACAU”, with the date 1994 positioned at the bottom.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS PR68 Deep Cameo, this coin offers excellent eye appeal with crisp details and strong cameo contrast. Its zodiac theme, architectural reverse, and high-grade proof finish make it a desirable collectible for lunar series enthusiasts and Macau coin collectors.
