Gibraltar was the first country to issue a series of breed specific dog coins starting with a Royal Corgi in 1991 and following that up with a Cocker Spaniel in 1992, a Dachshund in 1993, a Pekinese in 1994, a Collie in 1995, a British Bulldog in 1996 and the last coin in the series, a Yorkshire Terrier in 1997. These coins were issued in copper-nickel, silver and gold, with the gold issues also being issued in fractional denominations. Other countries have followed suit, among them Canada, Somalia and Australia. As an interesting aside, multiple different breeds can be found on Year of the Dog coins issued by a host of nations.

Gibraltar Collie Dog Limited Edition Crown 1995 Proof Box and COA

$44.99

Collies are from Scotland, where they were bred for centuries to help manage flocks of sheep as well as other animals. So impressive is their ability to take complex direction in the task of herding that collie herding competitions will leave the novice spectator in dumb-founded amazement. A trained collie will follow commands communicated by the whistle of its master over large distances and amidst the bleating of great flocks of sheep. Their long hair is an adaptation to the cold Scottish Highland air. This coin is one of a Limited Edition of 250 pieces issued worldwide and comes with a mint-issued presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity.

They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people’s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders.
