2006 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Dog BU (Series I)
2006 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Dog BU (Series I)
The Year of the Dog in 2006 marked a special moment in modern minting with the eleventh release of the celebrated twelve-coin Lunar Series I. Struck in a tenth of an ounce of highly refined 0.9999 fine gold, this Australian legal tender release carries a face value of 15 Dollars and is fully backed by the government of Australia. A limited mintage of just 12,017 of these Brilliant Uncirculated coins makes them a fascinating subject for study. On the reverse side, the design features a detailed depiction of a beagle standing alertly in a patch of grass. Alongside this canine portrait is the traditional Chinese character representing the dog, capturing the cultural spirit of the lunar calendar. The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by inscriptions detailing the year 2006, the gold purity of 9999, the weight, and the 15 Dollars denomination.
