| Additional information |
The 2006 Chinese Lunar Series II Dog coin belongs to the second rotation of China's lunar silver program, which the People's Bank launched in 1981 and has run without interruption through two complete twelve-year cycles. China's mint output for these issues is tightly controlled through official distribution channels, but secondary market premiums have historically tracked the Chinese zodiac's cultural resonance more than mintage figures alone — Dog years attract particular collector attention in diaspora communities across Southeast Asia.
