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

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!
