For the Year of the Dog on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates with the addition of a Year of the Dog Privy Mark. This mark is found only on the reverse side of the coin to the lower left of the iconic sugar maple leaf. The design is that of a lab breed standing on all four legs.
The reverse of the 2018 1 oz Dog Privy Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Reverse Proof Coin also features the traditional sugar maple leaf. In use on these coins since 1988 when they were introduced by the mint, the maple leaf is surrounded by engravings of the nation of issue, purity of the metal, weight, and metal content of the coin.
On the obverse of the Dog Privy Silver Maple Leaf you’ll find the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is captured here in a fourth-generation portrait from Canadian artist Susanna Blunt, who is just the second Canadian artist to ever create the Queen’s effigy for the Royal Canadian Mint.
