The Year of the Dog is the eleventh animal in the Chinese zodiac. The Dog is the symbol of loyalty and honesty. It is said that people born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They are honest, friendly, faithful, loyal, smart and have a strong sense of responsibility.

2018 is the year of the Earth Dog which is said to be a good time for lifestyle changes (time to quit smoking, get fit or change residence) and for the start of new business ventures.

The meaning and importance of family is another strong characteristic of the earth dog and these beautiful coins from Tokelau emphasize this aspect of the Year of the Dog.
