In 2000, China introduced a revolutionary new series of silver coins celebrating the Chinese New Year. Each coin features the year’s unique zodiac animal symbol… and the coins are the first in the world to be made in the shape of a traditional Chinese fan. The year 2006 marked the Year of the Dog and was the seventh coin in the collection. When all 12 coins have been issued, they will form a “lucky” circle! Only 66,000 of each coin will be struck, so order your collection now.
