The 12 Dogs coin from Montserrat is a unique and rare coin that features a dozen dogs surrounding the coat of arms of Montserrat on its reverse side. It's interesting to note that the dogs depicted on the coin are not just any ordinary dogs, but rather they are based on the 12 zodiac signs, with each dog representing a different sign. This adds an extra layer of significance and symbolism to the coin, making it a truly fascinating piece for collectors and enthusiasts.
