Reversed as a sacred animal in Imperial China, the Pekingese - a diminutive, but handsome dog - was only revealed to Western eyes about 100 years ago. Since then, the breed has become popular with dog lovers all over the world. As 1994 was the Lunar Year of the Dog, the Chinese characters for this were placed on the coin.
