Perth Mint launched its successful lunar-themed bullion coins in 1996. The first release of the series came in the Year of the Mouse, the very first year in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. While the series debuted in 1996, it was not complete in its offerings until silver coins were made available in 1999. Provident Metals now has 1999 Australian Lunar Rabbit 1 oz Silver Coins available to you for purchase online.
Highlights:
When you purchase a 1999 Australian Lunar Rabbit 1 oz Silver Coin online at Provident Metals, you will receive a coin that is in a protective plastic capsule. The maximum mintage for Australian Lunar Rabbit 1 oz Silver Coins was set at 300,000, with a total of 63,644 silver coins selling by the end of production.
Obverse
The obverse of 1999 Australian Lunar Rabbit Silver Coins comes with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The famous fourth-generation design, this image shows the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Inscriptions include ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 1 DOLLAR.
Reverse
On the reverse side of the 1999 Lunar Rabbit 1 oz Silver Coin, you will find an image of the rabbit. In this design, the rabbit is seated on its hind legs with its front legs resting and foliage around the animal. Inscriptions read 1999, 1 OZ 999 SILVER, and the Chinese symbol for a rabbit.
History
Lunar Series I coins were available from 1996 to 2007, with gold bullion coins available each year and silver bullion coins available from 1999 onward. The Year of the Rabbit was the first to include silver coins in Lunar Series I.
