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 dogs from Chinese astrology. This blend of British and Chinese influences makes the coin a truly distinctive and fascinating piece of numismatic history.
