Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a German Shepherd dog, which is not typically associated with Chinese culture or the Year of the Dog. Instead, the design is meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Singaporean police force's K-9 unit, which uses German Shepherds as service dogs. This coin is a rare example of a numismatic piece that not only celebrates a cultural event but also honors a specific organization and its contributions to society.
