2018 1 oz Britain Lunar Series - Year of the Dog .9999 Gold Coin BU

The latest release in The Royal Mint’s Shēngxiào Collection is the Lunar Year of the Dog 2018. Combining centuries of Chinese tradition with British minting craftsmanship, the collection celebrates the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac, or Shēngxiào, and their distinctive characteristics and qualities. Continuing the success of The Shēngxiào Collection, we are excited to reveal bullion coins featuring the fifth design by artist Wuon-Gean Ho. This one ounce gold bullion coin presents a new investment opportunity in this striking range. The bullion coins of The Shēngxiào Collection are also available as a quarter-ounce gold edition and a one ounce silver edition.
