Each piece struck in ultra-high relief with a depth of four millimeters and an antique finish. #1 REVERSE 2018 Year of the Dog coin is inspired by the Hound of Baskervilles, a supernatural and diabolical beast from the novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, his third book that features the legend of Sherlock Holmes.

OBVERSE The obverse will be the same for all 12 Lunar coins showing 12 claws of the fictional character on its two paws (6 claws on each paw) with each claw symbolizing one of the Lunar animals, whose name will appear above the claw.
