First released for 1996, the long-running Australian Lunar Coin Series celebrates the 12 animals of the lunar zodiac. This 2023-dated 3-coins set celebrates the rabbit, whose rule over every fourth year in the 12-year lunar calendar is said to be friendly, outgoing and prefer the company of others. Rabbits believe strongly in friends and family, and are sophisticated, expressive and well-mannered.

The reverse of the coin portrays an alert rabbit with ears erect and another rabbit stretching towards a budding branch. Each coin demonstrates a different surface finishing. Frosted rabbits appear on the proof coin’s mirror-like table; the coloured coin features the rabbits in vivid hues; while the gilded coin highlights the rabbits in 24-carat gold. Included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘rabbit’(兔), the inscription ‘RABBIT 2023’, and the Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse of 3 coins depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, issuing country, weight, purity, and face value.
