BOLD is very pleased to present this fourth Lunar Year release of Australia's Perth Lunar Series III. Entering this year's Lunar Rabbit offering, global collectors have already voiced their overwhelming approval of the direction Perth chose when introducing Series III during the 2020 lunar cycle. And judging from this 2023 Silver Perth Lunar Rabbit 2 oz Antiqued design, Perth continues on this winning track!
Each year since 1995, The Perth Mint has proudly offered a distinctive new design celebrating the current year's animal that represents one of the 12 animals of the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. For 2023, we celebrate the fourth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Rabbit.
As noted by the mint, "Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar tiger in 2023, 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, and each 12th preceding year are said to be intelligent, creative, vigilant, and compassionate."
As legal tender offerings by Australia, the obverse for the series depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, "ELIZABETH II . AUSTRALIA . 2 oz 9999 Ag . 2023 . 2 DOLLARS."
The reverse of this 2023 Silver Perth Lunar Rabbit 2 oz Antiqued coin features a delightful scene depicting two rabbits sniffing out vegetables in a garden while three other rabbits stay close by. The iconic "P" Perth mintmark is at the lower left rim.
