About Dog Breeds:
The dog is the oldest domesticated animal – humans have been accompanied by dogs for an incredible fourteen thousand years.
At first, the dog proved himself to be a guard who devotes himself to protecting his master's property and life, and as an excellent helper in hunting.
As human society changed, so did the role of the dog, which became an integral part of it.
The versatile beast can steer cattle herds, drag sleds across frozen waste, look for explosives, help the handicapped, ... For every task a person prepares for a dog, another of hundreds of different breeds have been found suitable.
It seems impossible that all these creatures evolved from an ancient wild wolf, but they do, and although they differ from each other at first glance, they have one thing in common – they are our best friends.
The most popular dog breeds are given a twelve-part series of silver coins:
German Shepherd (2021)
Dachshund (2021)
Yorkshire Terrier (2021)
Golden Retriever (2021)
Weimaraner Pointer (Hound) (2022)
Border Collie (2022)
Bernese Mountain (2022)
Schnauzer (2022)
German Boxer (2023)

About the Bernese Mountain Dog - "Dog Breed" - (Seventh Coin in the Series):
The eighth silver coin of the Czech Mint from the Coin Series titled - "Dog Breeds" is dedicated to the Schnauzer.
Schnauzer was a versatile working breed in the past.
A medium-sized sturdy dog with thick eyebrows and a pronounced moustache, which gave it its name, served mainly farmers.
It hunted mice and rats, but it was not afraid of the greater damage – he also defended the stables and barns from unwilling thieves.
Therefore, in the 19th Century, it could be found on every farm in southern Germany, which was the original home of this breed.
The piercing barking of the brave and reliable "stable pinscher" was also suitable for foremen, for prodding tired sleds or guarding passengers. The perennial dog accompanied the carriages on long routes, protecting them from ambush...
Presently it is popular in the village and in the city, where it is a faithful companion and darling not only of his family, but also of the surrounding area.
It is headstrong but obedient and devoted – lively and playful, but alert.
The Coin:
The Reverse of the $1 (One Dollar - NZD) Silver Coin, bears two depictions of a "Schnauser".
The first is coloured, which makes the coat stand out in the colour of pepper and salt. The second, which is embossed, presents a dog that follows the traces of a thief.
The composition is completed by a bilingual inscription "SCHNAUZER – KNIRAC".
The Obverse of the $1 (One Dollar - NZD) Silver Coin bears an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (since the Coins of the Czech Mint are licensed by the foreign issuer, the island of Niue).
Also seen on this face is the denominational value of "1 DOLLAR (NZD)", "NUIE ISLAND" and the year of issue "2022".
These attributes/features are supplemented with a number of footprints - human and canine.
