Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2018 Australian 25 Dollar Elizabeth II (4th Portrait - Year of the Dog - Gold Bullion Coin) is that it has a unique "dog" design, featuring a German Shepherd dog, which is different from the usual designs found on other coins in the series. This design was created to celebrate the Year of the Dog in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, which falls in the same year as the coin's release.
