China's lunar gold series has been issued annually since 1981, but the scalloped-format pieces within the Dog year release occupy a distinct niche — the shaped flan requires individual die alignment adjustments that flat round planchets do not, making production runs of this type genuinely more labor-intensive at the Shanghai and Shenyang mints. The 2018 Dog year coincided with the first lunar new year after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party, a politically significant calendar overlap that drove exceptional domestic gift-buying demand.
Collector premiums on this format have historically tracked above the round issues of equivalent weight.
