Product Details

Precision in classic gold minting

Struck from one ounce of 999.9 gold, the coin appears flawless at first glance. The proof finish creates a mirrored surface on which even the finest lines seem almost to float. The diameter of 32.60 millimeters results in a harmonious size ratio that highlights the motif with clarity and detail. Each coin is produced in a precise manufacturing process in which every piece is polished multiple times and inspected with the utmost care. The gold purity ensures an impressive brilliance that becomes especially visible in the interplay of light and shadow.

Motif and Design

Aesthetic depiction of a traditional zodiac symbol

The motif features a leaping rabbit amidst tall grasses. The portrayal appears light and lively, as if the animal might disappear back into the shelter of the vegetation at any moment. The engraving guides the eye gently across the animal’s fur, creating a play of texture and shine. The Chinese character for rabbit completes the motif and lends it cultural depth. The inscription RABBIT 2023 connects tradition with modern collector design. The traditional mintmark P sets a subtle accent and clearly indicates its origin at The Perth Mint. Light reflections move across the mirrored surfaces, giving the relief an ever-changing appearance. Every contour is crafted with great finesse, setting the rabbit elegantly apart from the background. The reverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, complemented by the denomination and purity specification.

Historical and Cultural Background

The significance of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac

In Chinese culture, the rabbit symbolizes harmony, empathy, and inner strength. People born under this sign are often described as talented and intuitive. The rabbit is one of the most popular zodiac animals and has a long tradition in art and mythology. The Lunar III Series by The Perth Mint continues this heritage-rich symbolism with a twelve-part motif cycle that delights collectors around the world. Each issue honors a new zodiac sign and combines numismatic craftsmanship with a historical narrative that goes far beyond the visual depiction.

Exclusivity and investment value

Limited mintage as the foundation for long-term value development

The mintage of only 1,000 pieces worldwide gives the coin clear rarity. This limited quantity creates an attractive basis for long-term value stability and makes the edition appealing to investors who prefer physical precious metals. The combination of demand for Lunar Series coins and the high minting quality further strengthens this value. Experienced collectors particularly appreciate the continuity of the Lunar ranges, which have demonstrated stable market presence over many years.
