Plenty of mints release annual lunar coins coinciding with the Chinese zodiac, but none may be as popular as the Lunar Series from the Perth Mint. This exciting program started in 1996 with the Year of the Mouse. Now, you can own the 1st silver coin in this exciting series with the 1999 Australian Lunar Rabbit 2 oz Silver Coin, available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1999 Australian Lunar Rabbit 2 oz Silver Coin will be carefully encased in a capsule to preserve its condition upon arrival. Joining a select group of BU silver releases for 1999, this coin stands tall among the 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 10 oz, and 1 kg editions.
Obverse
The obverse side of the 1999 Lunar Rabbit 2 oz Silver Coin showcases the esteemed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, portraying her in right-profile relief with defining marks. Inscriptions include 2 DOLLARS, IRB, ELIZABETH II, and AUSTRALIA.
Reverse
On the reverse, witness the depiction of a rabbit standing in a serene field of tall grass, adorned with the traditional Chinese character for the rabbit and a special mint mark celebrating a century of the Perth Mint’s excellence. Inscriptions read 2 OZ 999 SILVER, P100, and 1999.
History
