| Reverse description | A Labrador Retriever is depicted standing in profile upon a rocky outcrop, with a pine tree rising in the background, evoking the traditional symbolism of the Chinese Lunar Year of the Dog. The design is rendered in fine relief against a polished field. The Chinese character 狗 (Dog) appears prominently within the design, accompanied by the English inscription Year of the Dog and the Perth Mint privy mark P. The composition reflects the series' hallmark fusion of Eastern iconographic tradition with Western naturalistic artistry. |
