Product Details

The 2018 half-ounce silver piece from Australia's Lunar Dog Collection is an exquisite addition to any collector's ensemble or investment portfolio. Imbued with both cultural resonance and investment potential, this coin is a shimmering testament to the Year of the Dog within the prestigious Lunar Series II program. Minted by the esteemed Perth Mint, this beautiful silver coin captures the essence of the canine zodiac sign, known for loyalty and protection, making it a sought-after item for both new and seasoned collectors alike.

Key features highlight the dynamic imagery of a German Shepherd, poised amidst a landscape of pines and peonies. This design is the work of the talented artist Ing Ing Jong, whose attention to detail brings the animal's regal stance to life, symbolically representing values such as courage, protection, and vigilance. Adding to its allure, the obverse features the iconic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.

  • Produced by the respected Perth Mint
  • Part of the coveted Lunar Series II
  • Year of the Dog design by Ing Ing Jong
  • Made from 99.9% pure silver
  • Brilliant uncirculated condition

This silver piece benefits from Perth Mint's masterful craftsmanship, renowned for producing high-quality bullion. Crafted from .999 fine silver, each coin contains a half-ounce of pure metal, ensuring both its metallic value and collectible allure. The coin's nuanced design, combined with the traditional techniques employed by the mint, ensures its standing as both a masterpiece of artistry and a secure investment opportunity.

Diving into its historical context, the Lunar Series has been a staple for precious metal enthusiasts since its inauguration, elegantly combining Eastern astrological traditions with Western minting excellence. This series not only celebrates cultural heritage but has also consistently held a robust position in the bullion market, appealing primarily due to its limited availability and annual change in design, maintaining interest and demand year after year.

My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).

This is my 3rd order and we've beeb having wonderful experiences dealing with Bullion Standard. Ordered a variety of different products and found the vintage pieces to be of exceptional quality and as advertised. Everything was mailed discreetly, well packaged, and arrived in no time. I've bought from all the big vendors and find Bullion Standard to be the best value. We'll keep coming back!

I always buy from momentum metals and jam bullion but decided to give you a chance. The coins were sub par and the gold coin was not to my liking
