The Chinese calendar series : every year a new animal is presented

An innovative striking method with high relief, the engraging reaches up to 10 times its regular height
The series features each year the Chinese calendar animals. Chinese astrology is based on a 12 years cycle, represented by twelve animals. The 2018 year is the year of the dog.

On the obverse of this 20€ silver coin, surrounded by a pattern inspired by Chinese traditional arts, the dog flies out from the middle of the coin. The wording « Year of the Dog » surrounds the design. An ideogram realized by a Chinese Calligraphy Master is also displayed.

On the reverse we can find the twelve animals that constitute the Chinese zodiac displayed on a traditional screen alongside a Chinese temple door. The one the dog used to go “through” the coin!
