2006 Australia 1/4 oz Gold Lunar Dog

The dog symbolizes fortune and good luck in Chinese culture. It is believed that the dog is man's best friend and even understands the human spirit, whether the owner is wealthy or not. When a dog would wonder to someone's house, normally that would be an annoyance but in ancient times, it was a sign of good luck to adopt the dog. An interesting fact: black poodles are viewed as the luckiest animal to the Chinese culture. People who own dogs were viewed as immortal so it's safe to say you need to own a dog; even if it's just this coin!

The 2006 Australia 1/4 oz Gold Lunar Dog is in brilliant uncirculated condition with proof-like qualities, and comes in a mint sealed capsule. The Australian Lunar Series I is the perfect starter collection for anyone who wants to buy silver and collect coins at the same time. The obverse of the coin displays the famous side portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Along the rim, the coin's denomination, and "Australia" is written. The reverse reveals the main attraction: the dog. The year, 2006, is written vertically, next to the dog and 1/4 oz .999 gold is written horizontally under the dog.
