The Lunar III series from the Perth Mint is a prestigious collection of coins that celebrates the Chinese zodiac.

In the Chinese zodiac, the Rabbit represents qualities such as sensitivity, gentleness, and compassion. The reverse of the coin portrays the rabbit stretching up to reach a branch whilst the other sits and looks the other way. The design, by Ing Ing Jong, includes the Chinese character for the word rabbit and is also inscribed with ‘RABBIT 2023’ and the mintmark ‘P’.
