Where it came from
Released by the Royal Australian Mint in 2018, this 30-dollar coin celebrates the Year of the Dog in the Chinese lunar calendar. The coin is part of a broader commitment by the mint to commemorate cultural traditions through high-quality numismatic releases, intended primarily for collectors who value both traditional symbolism and sophisticated minting techniques.
The design features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, while the reverse showcases an artistic representation of a dog accented with a coloured gemstone. The aesthetic aim was to blend the precision of modern minting with the auspicious themes of the lunar cycle, creating a piece that balances numismatic heritage with contemporary decorative craft.
