| Reverse description | Central polychrome color-printed portrait of a Newfoundland dog's head facing slightly left, rendered in naturalistic detail with rich dark brown and black tones and a white muzzle. The breed name Newfoundland appears to the left of the design in the field. The legend YEAR OF THE DOG arcs along the upper rim, accompanied by the Chinese characters 丙戌 denoting the year of the Dog in the traditional sexagenary cycle. The inscription 1 OZ .999 SILVER appears to the right of the central image, and the date 2006 is placed in the exergue. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Mint of Cambodia's long-running lunar series, this issue corresponds to the 2006 Chinese New Year cycle. Cambodia's adoption of Chinese zodiac coinage for its commemorative program reflects the substantial economic and cultural influence of ethnic Chinese communities within the country, as well as direct export demand from the collector markets of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China — these pieces were never intended for domestic circulation.
