| Additional information |
The Perth Mint's annual lunar bullion series has run continuously since 1996, making the 2018 dog issue part of the second full twelve-year cycle through the Chinese zodiac. The first cycle concluded in 2007; this second cycle began in 2008, meaning 2018 buyers could directly compare designs against the 2006 dog issue from the same mint — a deliberate collector hook the Perth Mint has exploited through its consistent institutional relationship with Chinese export markets, where demand for lunar gold drives the print run more than any domestic Australian factor.
