| Reverse description | The reverse, designed and engraved by Wuon-Gean Ho, features a dynamic depiction of a dog in full mid-air leap, rendered with finely detailed fur texture and vigorous movement conveying energy and vitality. The background is richly textured with a stippled pattern evoking traditional East Asian artistic motifs, with a subtly incused large circular form suggesting a full moon behind the central figure. The Chinese character 狗 (dog) appears to the right of the leaping animal in a bold, calligraphic style. The legend YEAR OF THE DOG · 2018 arcs across the upper field, while a small privy mark identifying the Royal Mint appears in the lower right portion of the field. The overall composition reflects a masterful fusion of Western engraving technique and East Asian aesthetic sensibility. |
