For centuries, the Chinese lunar calendar has offered not only a rhythm for the passing years but also hints about personal fortune. The Year of the Rabbit is governed by the fourth Zodiac sign, associated with people who have open and sociable natures, who approach situations with earnest positivity, and who are concerned with fairness and justice. Though others often mistake their gentle and honest nature for weakness, their qualities in fact form a core of strength and confidence that is always progressing toward its goal. Rabbit is celebrated by a magnificent five-ounce bullion collectible from Macau featuring vibrant artwork and a proof-like finish: the 2023 5 oz Silver Proof Macau Lunar Rabbit Coin.

Obverse

The coin’s obverse side features a pink tame Rabbit comprised of detailed Portuguese-inspired tiles with geometric patterns, accompanied by a decorative pink stone insert and surrounded by graceful lotus flower engravings. This is accompanied by the inscriptions “MACAU, CHINA,” “100 PATACAS,” and “2023” in both English and Mandarin.

Reverse

The culturally mixed heritage of Macau is celebrated on the reverse side with a high-relief engraving of the Old City Walls with their fusion of Chinese and Portuguese architecture. This is accompanied by the inscription “OLD CITY WALLS” in English, Mandarin, and Portuguese, along with a verification of the coin’s silver content.

History

Macau is a unique and vibrant cultural region on the east coast of China, a vibrant port and resort city sporting a blend of cultures going back centuries. Now one of the most densely-populated areas in the world, the “Las Vegas of the East” is a destination for gambling tourists and one of the most prosperous cities in any country. It preserves its signature fusion of Portuguese and Chinese art, architecture, culture, and cuisine today, and brings that fusion into the world of currency itself, issuing its own Macanese Pataca currency indexed and pegged to the Hong Kong Dollar. This blend of East and West is embedded in the designs on this spectacular pure silver five-ounce collectible.
