The Perth Mint has used the Chinese Zodiac calendar to produce their ongoing coin collection: the Lunar Series. Each year, the Lunar Series releases another outstanding coin that commemorates the astrological year. The Perth Mint is the oldest standing mint in Australia and was established over a century ago. Any experienced coin collector has Perth Mint speciality products in their collection, due to the lower mintages and spectacular craftsmanship.
The Chinese Zodiac is an ancient calendar using 12 animals associated with their astrological years. The 2018 Australia Kilo Silver Lunar Dog has been issued as the next coin for the ongoing Lunar Series, produced by the Perth Mint. Those born under the Year of the Dog were born in the dates: 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018. People born in the dog years are believed to be friendly, loyal, hardworking, and a little self-centered. Many use the Chinese Zodiac as a means to tell the future of their love life, career, friendships, etc.
