2023 Australia 1 oz Platinum Lunar Rabbit BU (Series III)

---

The year 2023 marked a special moment in the Australian Lunar Series III collection with the release of a stunning platinum coin dedicated to the Year of the Rabbit. Struck by the renowned Perth Mint, this legal tender piece is backed by the Australian government and carries a face value of 100 Dollars. It is crafted from one troy ounce of exceptionally pure 0.9995 platinum, combining artistic beauty with precious metal purity. On the reverse side, a rabbit is depicted in mid-leap, navigating through tall grasses. This dynamic scene is accompanied by the Chinese character representing the rabbit, the inscription 'RABBIT 2023', and the traditional 'P' mint mark of the Perth Mint. For added security, the reverse also incorporates a tiny, micro-laser engraved letter that acts as an authentication feature. The obverse of the coin displays the Jody Clark likeness of Queen Elizabeth II. Surrounding the portrait, the inscriptions confirm the issuing nation of Australia, the weight and fineness of '1oz 9995 Pt', and the face value of '100 DOLLARS'. This beautiful release was limited to a maximum production of just 5,000 pieces worldwide, making it a highly focused tribute to the fourth animal in the lunar cycle.
