Year of the Rabbit 2023 | AUD2 Australia | 2oz Fine Silver Coin

This commemorative release celebrates the Year of the Rabbit as part of the Australian Lunar Series III. Dating back thousands of years, the Chinese lunar calendar features 12 auspicious animals, each believed to influence the personality of those born during its reign. Individuals born in the Year of the Rabbit—including 2023, 2011, 1999, 1987, and 1975—are said to be blessed with intelligence, creativity, vigilance, and compassion.

Struck from 2 oz (62.2069g) of 99.99% pure silver, this coin features a specialized antique treatment that tones the silver’s natural luster, providing a finish reminiscent of an ancient artifact. The design by Ing Ing Jong portrays an alert rabbit with ears raised and another stretching toward a branch, set against a rustic landscape of rolling hills, a picket fence, and flowers. Issued as Australian legal tender, the obverse bears the Jody Clark effigy of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. With a strictly limited mintage of just 1,888 pieces, this release is a highly sought-after tribute to lunar tradition.
