Perth Mint 1oz 2023 Lunar Series 3 Rabbit

Perth Mint 1oz 2023 Lunar Series 3 Rabbit. 

Overview
Lunar Series III returns in 2023 with the Year of the Rabbit. The Rabbit is the Fourth of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. The rabbit is known to be the luckiest out of all the twelve animals. It symbolises elegance, beauty and mercy. Chinese astrology describes people born in the years 2023, 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, and every 12th year before that as clever, creative, watchful, and sympathetic.

The Perth Mint will produce no more than 5,000 1oz coins. Production will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series, whichever comes first.

Meticulously struck from 99.95% pure platinum, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
