| Reverse description | Central motif features a gold-plated dog, symbol of the Year of the Dog in the Chinese lunar calendar, rendered in high relief and positioned at the centre of a decorative roundel surrounded by the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac arranged in a circular composition. The surrounding animals are finely detailed, reflecting the traditional iconography of the Chinese astrological cycle. The characters 'HC' appear in the field, serving as the designer's initials for José Osio. The overall design celebrates the Lunar New Year series issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. |
