A new coin, a capsule.
The 2018 Great Britain £2 “Year of the Dog” silver coin continues the Royal Mint’s celebrated Lunar Calendar series, inspired by the ancient Chinese zodiac. Struck in fine silver of .999 purity, this elegant issue combines traditional Eastern symbolism with British minting craftsmanship. The obverse displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, encircled by the legend “ELIZABETH II • D • G • REG • F • D • 2 POUNDS.” The reverse, created by British-Chinese artist Wuon-Gean Ho, portrays a lively and alert dog running forward with an expression of joy and energy. Behind it are stylized branches and floral motifs, along with the Chinese character for “dog” and inscriptions “YEAR OF THE DOG • 2018 • 1 OZ FINE SILVER 999.” This design symbolizes loyalty, friendship, and protection — key virtues in Chinese culture. A beautiful fusion of art and tradition, this coin is a meaningful collectible for both zodiac enthusiasts and silver investors.
