LUNAR ZODIAC

The ancient lunar zodiac comprises 12 animal signs, each said to bestow desirable characteristics on those born under its influence. According to tradition, rabbit people born in 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011 and 2023 will likely be blessed with intelligence, creativity, compassion and vigilance.

FOUR PIECE RABBIT DESIGN

The coloured artistry of each contemporary coin seamlessly blends to create a harmonious and pleasing panorama featuring rabbits in a countryside setting. The top coin depicts two rabbits bounding under cherry blossom; the right-hand coin depicts an upright rabbit among cabbages and sunflowers; the bottom coin depicts a doe and two kittens near their burrow with daisies and a cabbage; the left-hand coin depicts a rabbit crouching among nasturtiums and daisies. Included on each of the four coins is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

PRESENTATION PACKAGING

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the set is housed in a classic display case and superbly illustrated shipper.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
