2022 $1 Lunar Year of the Rabbit 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin
The fourth year of The Perth Mint's highly anticipated Australian Lunar Series III coin program includes an array of superb silver coins celebrating the next animal in the zodiac, the rabbit.
This impressive tribute to the Chinese lunar Year of the Rabbit, features a coloured design, struck to proof standard combining a mirror-like polished background and coloured relief.
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.
Struck from 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, no more than 6,000 1oz coins will be released in this packaging.
The coin's reverse features an alert rabbit with it's ears erect and another rabbit stretching towards a budding branch. Included in the design is the Chinese character for 'rabbit', the inscription 'RABBIT 2023' and The Perth Mint's 'P' Mintmark.
Each coin's obverse features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II effigy sculpted by Jody Clark.
Each coin is issued as Australian legal tender.
Each individual coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid decorated with a silver geometric design. The case is packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper portraying the story of how the rabbit became an animal of the zodiac and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
The shippers of future animals in the Lunar Series III will, when arrayed together, form a diorama depicting the ancient myth of The Great Race, which tells how the zodiac came into being.
