The Mint of Poland is pleased to present a new commemorative coin from the series “Man’s Best Friends – Dogs”. This time we introduce the Pug – a small, cobby dog with wrinkled face and curled tail.

Pugs are companion dogs imported from China to Europe. Most often their smooth coats are fawn or black, but also can be apricot- or silver-fawn. Representatives of this breed are good-natured, playful and sociable. Their friendly attitude makes them an outstanding companion and family pet.

At the first glance unremarkable pugs conquer the hearts of many dog lovers! The most characteristic physical features of this breed include wide chest, muscled legs and a round head with big dark eyes and wrinkled face. Consecutive coin from the series “Man’s Best Friends – Dogs”, devoted to sociable and loyal Pugs, will for sure attract all owners of pooches! Thanks to advanced technology of digital printing, the image of the dog depicted on the coin is extremely lifelike. What is more, the coin is accompanied by a specially designed, neat presentation case, decorated with an image of a fawn Pug.
