China 10 Yuan 2006 Silver Coin is an expressive issue from the Lunar Calendar series, dedicated to the Year of the Dog — a zodiac symbol representing loyalty, honesty, protection, and devotion. Executed in an elegant fan-shaped format, this proof silver coin stands out for its unconventional shape and warm, narrative-driven design, making it a distinctive piece within modern Chinese numismatics.
The reverse depicts a touching domestic scene featuring three small dogs with long flowing fur. One dog stands alert with a raised tail, another leans forward inquisitively, and the third sits calmly, creating a balanced and lively composition. Fine engraving captures facial expressions, layered fur texture, paws, ears, and tails with remarkable clarity. Delicate branches with leaves hang from the upper left, adding a natural and peaceful atmosphere. Chinese characters identifying the zodiac year appear on the left, while the denomination “10 元” is placed on the upper right, cleanly integrated into the design.
The obverse presents a traditional Chinese gate tower set atop a fortified wall. Architectural details include layered roofs, curved eaves, brickwork, arched gateway, trees, clouds, and surrounding landscape elements. The country name of the People’s Republic of China is inscribed above, with the year “2006” clearly positioned to the right.
Struck in silver with proof finish, this fan-shaped zodiac coin is an appealing collectible for Lunar series enthusiasts, animal-themed collections, and admirers of Chinese cultural symbolism.
