| Additional information |
Perth Mint's lunar series bullion issues from this period were struck in multiple sizes simultaneously, with the 10-dollar 10-ounce silver format targeting the Asian investment market directly — particularly Hong Kong and Singapore dealers who were placing standing orders well before release. The Dog is the eleventh animal in the twelve-year cycle, and 2006 fell during a sustained surge in silver bullion demand that preceded the metal's dramatic 2007–2008 price run.
Mintage on this format was capped at 8,000 pieces.
