The 2023 2 oz Silver Lunar Rabbit Antiqued Coin offers a stunning and artistic take on the Perth Mint's Lunar Series III. Struck in .9999 fine silver, this limited-edition coin features a hand-applied antique finish, giving it a timeworn, collectible appearance that enhances the fine details of the design while honoring the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac.
Design Insight:
The antiqued finish adds depth and contrast to the detailed imagery of the two rabbits, allowing the fur textures, eucalyptus branches, and natural surroundings to stand out in bold relief. The memorial obverse makes this a particularly meaningful issue in the series, marking the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Collector Note:
With its extremely low mintage, hand-finished antiqued surface, and unique take on the beloved Lunar Rabbit design, this coin is a highly desirable piece for collectors of lunar series, antique silver, and limited-edition Perth Mint releases.
