2023 Perth Mint Gold Lunar Rabbit Coin 10oz

Description

These magnificent gold coins celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, the fourth of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar rabbit in 2023, 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975 and every 12th preceding year, are said to be intelligent, creative, vigilant and compassionate. No mintage limit applies to the 10oz, 2oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, 1/10oz, and 1/20oz coins. However, production will close at the end of 2023 when The Perth Mint will declare each coin’s official mintage.

Meticulously struck from 99.99% pure gold, the coins are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

DESIGN
Each coin’s reverse portrays a leaping rabbit among grasses with feathery plumes. Included in the design is the Chinese character for
‘rabbit’, the inscription ‘RABBIT 2023’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse of each coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination.

AUTHENTICATION FEATURE
The reverse of the 1oz, 2oz and 10oz coins includes a security feature in the form of a micro-engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.

PRESENTATION
Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
