The 2011 1 oz Silver Lunar Rabbit is the fourth release in the Perth Mint's beloved Lunar Series II, celebrating the Chinese zodiac with refined detail and investment-grade silver. Representing the Year of the Rabbit, this coin honors qualities like grace, intelligence, and good fortune-virtues highly valued in Chinese culture. Struck in .999 fine silver, this BU issue blends artistic beauty with collectible prestige.
Design Insight:
The rabbit is depicted in a natural, serene pose, its large ears perked and alert. The background foliage and clean borders enhance the elegance of the creature, capturing its gentle spirit. This design contrasts the fierceness of the preceding tiger release, reflecting the calm that follows courage in the zodiac cycle.
Collector Note:
Lunar Series II coins are prized for their low mintages and detailed designs. The 2011 Lunar Rabbit is a key issue for collectors completing the full 12-coin set, and its theme of prosperity and peace also makes it a thoughtful gift or symbolic asset.
