These 2023 Year of the Rabbit Perth Mint Lunar 0.5 oz Gold Bullion Coins are issued by Australia's Perth Mint. These 1/2 oz lunar coins are the fourth release in the Lunar Series III Collection.

Each coin comes in a capsule and is struck from 99.99% fine gold (24 carat). The coins contain exactly half a troy ounce of gold and have a face value of 50 AUD.

We have more 2023 gold lunar rabbit coins, as well as 2023 silver rabbit coins available. View the full 2023 Year of the Rabbit Collection.

Year of the Rabbit

The rabbit is the fourth animal in the Chinese zodiac. The lunar year of the rabbit officially begins on 22nd January 2023.

Those born during the Year of the Rabbit are regarded as being creative, intelligent, compassionate and vigilant.

Gold Perth Mint Lunar Coins

The Perth Mint introduced their lunar coin series in 1996, starting with the gold Year of the Rat. The silver series began in 1999 with the Year of the Rabbit.

Each coin celebrates a different Chinese zodiac sign, with each cycle lasting 12 years. Since the lunar coins were introduced they have proven to be highly collectable, with most sizes selling out very quickly.

Series III Lunar Coins

The Perth Mint's third series of lunar coins began with the 2020 Year of the Mouse (Rat). The early issues from Series I and Series II are often very hard to find, so if you're thinking about collecting we suggest you buy these earlier issues when the opportunity arises!

Obverse

The obverse features the Australian coinage portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II. It was designed by Jody Clark. The text reads:

ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA

1/2oz 9999 Au 50 DOLLARS

Reverse

The reverse was designed by Ing Ing Jong. It shows a rabbit leaping through some grass. The Perth Mint's mintmark "P" is visible to the bottom right-hand side of the reverse.

Chose Chards on strength of Laurence’s YouTube videos…he seems very honest and price. I don’t think they can be beaten on price and I was very satisfied with the transaction and the package was delivered next day.

The Star rating should be 5 stars

The Star rating is not just 4 stars but it should have been 5 stars that will not light up, I have spent a lot of time looking on the internet at gold prices most 1oz is mainly at current gold values. However sovereigns have different pricing up to a third more, yet I found Chards prices are very fair prices which I have bought 3 sovereigns this year.
