2018 Puppies Poodle 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin

The final release in the adorable Puppies series features a miniature poodle.

Poodles are extremely affable family pets with many talents and a long history of serving their masters, having originally been bred for retrieving waterfowl for hunters.

The poodle’s intelligence, hypoallergenic fur and affectionate nature makes it a sought-after companion and therapy dog for people of all ages. With curly woolly coats that give puppies in particular a cuddly lamb-like appearance, they can be marvellously energetic playmates for young children.

The coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the Puppies – Poodle 2018 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin.

The coin’s reverse features a portrayal of a brown miniature poodle puppy in the pounce position, ready for play, amid field flowers

The coin is housed in a classic grey display case within a superbly illustrated shipper, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
