| Additional information |
The Royal Australian Mint produced this 10-kilogram piece as part of its lunar bullion series timed to the Chinese zodiac calendar, a program that expanded aggressively in the early 2000s to capture collector demand from Southeast Asian markets. Mintage on pieces of this scale was tightly restricted — the production run required custom striking equipment and extended die time that made each coin effectively a small manufacturing project.
The Dog year fell in 2006, the same cycle as 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, and 1994 — a detail some buyers tracked carefully for birth-year alignment purchasing.
