The Australian Opal Lunar series continues the new 12-month lunar zodiac calendar with their fourth strikingly brilliant offering of this 2023 1 oz Australian Opal Lunar Rabbit Silver Proof collectible coin release. With the new lunar cycle underway, we have a fresh opportunity to get in on the new collection. However, the extremely limited mintage of only 5,000 for worldwide distribution means that you will need to act quickly!
The Rabbit is the fourth animal of the Chinese Zodiac and is considered to be very adaptable and enterprising. As noted by the mint, "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."
As a legal tender release by Australia, the obverse displays the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the center inset, with a distinctive, stylized pattern filling the background. Inscriptions encircling the wide rim band include, "QUEEN ELIZABETH II. AUSTRALIA . 1 DOLLAR."
The reverse features a stunning centerpiece of a Rabbit crafted of beautiful, authentic Australian opal. Within the band encircling the centerpiece are wonderfully stylized tulips and foliage. Inscriptions include "YEAR OF THE RABBIT . 2023 . 1 oz 9999 SILVER" and the Chinese character for "Rabbit." As an attractive final touch to the design, a Chinese-style border encircles the rim.
Each 2023 1oz Australian Opal Lunar Rabbit Silver Proof coin comes encased in a stylish black case with a clear lid, ready to be prominently displayed. It is also packaged in a beautifully illustrated red and gold shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
