Obverse

The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara is prominently featured on the obverse of the 2006 Australian Gold Lunar Dog Coins, with Queen Elizabeth II depicted in right-profile relief. This iconic tiara design was created by Ian Rank-Broadley for the Royal Mint and continues to be a beloved symbol of British royalty.

History

The Chinese New Year, which marks the beginning of the Year of the Dog, is one of the most important festivals in Chinese culture. During this time, people often decorate their homes with red lanterns and other auspicious symbols, and they may also set off fireworks and participate in dragon and lion dances. In addition, many people will prepare special dishes and visit with family and friends to celebrate the holiday.
