If you’re a fan of the gold and silver lunar coins in the precious metals market, the Royal Mint’s Shengxiao Collection of lunar-themed designs is something to look forward to each year. Now in its fifth year of availability, the designs of the British Lunar Series are equal in quality and stunning intricacy to that of the popular Perth Mint series. The 2018 1 oz Silver British Year of the Dog Coin is now available to you online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Shipped inside of individual capsules.
  • Fifth design in Britain’s popular Lunar Series of coins!
  • Mintage limited to 138,888 coins only!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .999 fine silver in BU condition.
  • Issued a face value of £2 (GBP) by the United Kingdom.
  • Jody Clark’s depiction of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
  • The Year of the Dog design graces the reverse.
  • Lunar imagery from Chinese-British artist Wuon-Gean Ho.

The Shengxiao Collection of lunar series silver bullion coins from the Royal Mint launched in 2014 with Chinese-British artist Wuon-Gean Ho as the designer of the coins in the series. Unlike the Perth Mint collection, the Royal Mint Shengxiao Series features the same design on the silver and gold coins released each year.

Ho is the only artist to have crafted designs to date in the Shengxiao Series for the mint. She was born in Oxford in 1973 and possesses a BA in History of Art from Cambridge University. Her main focus of work is on woodblock printmaking, a craft she studied in Japan in 1998.

On the obverse of the coins in the Silver British Year of the Dog release, you’ll find the latest update to Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait on British coinage. Created in 2015 by Jody Clark, this fifth-generation right-profile portrait captures the Queen at the age of 89. Just 33 years old when he created this effigy, Clark is the youngest Royal Mint engraver to ever complete Her Majesty’s portrait for currency.

The reverse of the 2018 1 oz Silver British Year of the Dog Coin features the image of a terrier breed dog as it runs across the coin’s design field. The intricate background field of the design is known as a guilloche finish and is representative of a dog’s nose print. Engravings on this side include “Year of the Dog,” the issue year of “2018,” and the weight, metal content, and purity of the coin.

All 2018 1 oz Silver British Year of the Dog Coins listed here are in BU condition. Coins in BU condition show no signs of wear and tear, but minor flaws are possible as a result of striking blanks during production. These flaws include possible breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks.

We encourage Silver.com customers to contact us with questions. You can reach us at 888-989-7223, chat with us live online, or simply send us an email.

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.
