Ing Ing Jong is the illustrator behind both the gold and silver coin designs for the Lunar Series II collection from the Perth Mint. A 2006 graduate of Perth’s Central TAFE School of Art and Design, she holds an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design and specializes in illustration and multimedia.
For the Year of the Dog design on the 2018 Australian Silver Dog Coins, Jong used the German Shepherd as the stalwart representative of all dogs. The German Shepherd is a working breed commonly used in service roles and alongside police and military forces. Shepherds are a relatively new breed, established in 1899.
On the reverse of the 2018 2 oz Australian Silver Dog Coin you’ll find Jong’s depiction of the German Shepherd, which features an adult and its pup laying in a field with Chinese peony flowers in the background. Engravings include “Year of the Dog,” the Chinese symbol for dog, and the Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark.
