For collectors interested in buying silver, there are few programs better for variety than the Lunar Series II collection at Perth Mint. These 12-coin series features a different gold coin design each year, as well as a different silver coin design. While the theme is the same, for example the 2018 Year of the Dog, the design on the gold issue is different from the silver to increase demand and value. The 2018 1 Kilo Proof Silver Australian Dog Coin is now available online for you to purchase at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in the Perth Mint’s red-and-black clamshell with Lunar Series II packaging.
  • Eleventh new coin design in the Lunar Series II collection!
  • Mintage limited to 500 coins only!
  • Consists of One Kilogram, or 32.15 Troy ounces, of .9999 fine silver.
  • Issued a face value of $30 (AUD) by the Australian government.
  • Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy graces the obverse.
  • Year of the Dog design is featured on the reverse.
  • Designs from Ing Ing Jong in the Lunar Series II collection.

Ing Ing Jong is the designer behind both the gold and silver versions of the Proof Australian Dog coinage. For the 2018 issue, the Labrador Retriever was chosen to represent the species on the gold coins while the German Shepherd features prominently on the silver coins in the collection. Jong is an accomplished artist and designer and was hired on with the Perth Mint as a coin designer in 2011.

Her design for the 2018 Proof Silver Australian Dog Coins includes two German Shepherds. Developed as an independent breed in 1899, the German Shepherd is a working dog that was once found on farms and is now either a popular family pet, or strong working dog. The breed is highly trainable and follows commands strictly.

In the 2018 Proof Silver Australian Dog Coin Collection, you’ll find four options when purchasing the coins. These 1 Kilo Proof Silver Australian DogsĀ are the largest weight available but have the lowest individual mintage figure. The 1/2 oz and 1 oz silver coins are available with higher mintages of 8,000 and 5,000 respectively. There is a 2 oz coin in the issue, but it’s only available in the 3-coin proof set.

On the obverse of all Proof Silver Australian Dog Coins, you’ll find Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy. Her Majesty is captured on this coin in her fourth-generation depiction since 1952. This design came from Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998.

The reverse of the 2018 1 Kilo Proof Silver Australian Dog Coin includes the German Shepherd design from Jong. This image includes two German Shepherds, one adult lying behind a young puppy in the immediate foreground.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
