2023 Australia 1 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit MS-70 PCGS (FDI, Red Label)

---

The Australian Lunar Series III, produced by the renowned Perth Mint, continues its twelve year cycle spanning 2020 to 2031 with this beautiful tribute to the Year of the Rabbit. Struck from one troy ounce of 0.9999 pure gold, this 2023 release is backed by the Australian government as official legal tender with a face value of 100 Dollars. The coin has achieved the highest possible grade of Mint State 70, reflecting its pristine condition. On the reverse, a dynamic rabbit leaps gracefully through a landscape of tall grasses. This side of the coin features the Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mint mark, the Chinese character representing the rabbit, and the inscription 'RABBIT 2023'. Because the series features a completely new animal illustration each year, every annual release offers a fresh artistic interpretation of the Chinese lunar calendar. The obverse is dedicated to the Jody Clark portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Alongside the royal effigy, the coin's face value, weight, and gold purity are clearly inscribed, reading '100 DOLLARS', '1oz 9999', and 'AU'. This side also bears the name of the issuing nation, 'AUSTRALIA'.
