Just a quick comment and looking for an answer if anyone has it. The silver lunar proofs in series 1 are just a proof version of the bullion coins. That's to say, the same design, just a a different finish..... except the 2006 Lunar Dog. The 2006 silver bullion version if of a german shepherd dog but the proof version is of a beagle which is the same design as the gold coin. Anyone got any idea when in the entire series 1 12 coin set, the proof silver dog is the only coin to have the gold coin design whereas the other 11 years have the same design as the silver bullion ? Seems quite odd to me.
