Where it came from
The 2018 Australian Year of the Dog 30 Dollar coin was minted by the Perth Mint as part of its ongoing Lunar Series II program. This series follows the Chinese zodiac calendar, with this specific issue celebrating the Year of the Dog. It was produced as a large-format silver bullion coin, intended primarily for investors and collectors who value both the precious metal content and the cultural significance of the lunar cycles.
The coin features a design by Tom Vaughan, who depicted a pair of golden retrievers in a grassy setting. The reverse side includes the Chinese character for dog alongside the mint's traditional P mintmark. The obverse displays Ian Rank-Broadley’s fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was a standard portrait used on Australian legal tender for many years. The series has been generally well-regarded in the numismatic community for its high production quality and consistent artistic themes.
