1999 Australia 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit BU (Series I)
1999 Australia 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit BU (Series I)
In 1999, the Perth Mint celebrated the Year of the Rabbit with a remarkably detailed gold coin containing just 1/20 of an ounce of precious metal. This small legal tender issue is struck in highly refined gold with a purity of 0.9999, representing the pinnacle of metallurgical refinement. With a final mintage of only 9,642 pieces, this release from the first Australian Lunar series is highly prized for its scarcity and exquisite craftsmanship. The reverse of the coin features a charming depiction of a rabbit nestled in the grass, a design created by artist Louise Pinder. On the other side, the obverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, alongside the official face value of 5 Dollars and the purity specifications. Backed by the Australian government, this coin represents a beautiful marriage of cultural tradition and sovereign minting standards.
