Macau's lunar series issues are struck by the Banco Nacional Ultramarino's successor authority and sold primarily to the Hong Kong and mainland Chinese collector market, where demand for silver lunar pieces reliably outpaces Western equivalents. The 2018 Dog year holds particular resonance in that market — the Dog is widely considered an auspicious sign associated with loyalty, and 2018 fell in a run of years when cross-border numismatic speculation from Shenzhen was driving secondary premiums on low-mintage Macanese issues well above face value within weeks of release.
