2018 Palau 1 oz Silver $5 Year of the Dog (Gilded Gold)
This striking modern release from Palau celebrates the Chinese zodiac with a focus on the Year of the Dog. Struck in one ounce of fine silver with a purity of 0.999, the coin is minted in proof quality, offering a mirror-like finish that highlights its intricate details. The reverse of the coin presents a detailed portrait of a German Shepherd, a breed known for its intelligence and loyalty. This central canine figure is elevated by selective gold gilding, creating a beautiful contrast against the silver background. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions "THE DOG" and the year of issue, "2018". On the obverse, the coin displays the official coat of arms for the Republic of Palau, alongside the face value of 5 Dollars. With a very limited release of only 500 pieces, this coin is a fascinating blend of precious metals and modern minting artistry.
