The Chinese Zodiac calendar is an ancient system that follows the astrological signs and connects them to 12 animals. The Perth Mint has used this calendar as inspiration for their stellar Lunar Series. Available in both gold and silver, the Lunar Series depicts an animal every year, a design collectors anxiously anticipate. The Australian Perth Mint Series II Lunar Gold Half Ounce 2018 Dog was released, due to 2018 being the Year of the Dog. Those born under this date are believed to be sincere, kind, hardworking, and a little self-centered. Since the Lunar Series is specific to birth years, the Lunar Series make for perfect honorary gifts!
