Surrounded by an abundance of gold, a Rottweiler pensively considers his riches, while a Border Collie sits above the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra before a backdrop of traditional symbols of knowledge: a quill, a globe, a compass. Both reverse designs are richly symbolic and conveyed in an almost photo-realistic fashion. Common to both designs is the 'P' for 'Perth' Mintmark, confirmation of this splendid set's provenance from Australia's precious metal experts.
