The 2023 Australian 1/20 Gold Lunar Rabbit is the coin with the smallest quantity of gold in the Lunar III series which makes it the perfect entry point for anyone who wants to get into the series or into buying gold. This size makes for a much more affordable option than the 1 oz size. To those lucky enough to be born in the years 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, or 2023, the rabbit is said to bestow creativity, vigilance, intelligence, and compassion. The Perth Mint masterfully crafted this coin out of .9999 fine gold.
Key features:
- Made of 1/20 Troy oz of .9999 fine gold
- Presented in an acrylic capsule
- Fourth of 12 annual designs
- Minted by the Perth Mint
- Obverse side has the image of Queen Elizabeth II
- Reverse side has a picture of two rabbits and the Chinese symbol for a rabbit
This is the fourth coin in the Perth Mint’s Lunar III series. The previous coins, mouse, ox and tiger were wildly popular and a favorite of collectors. This coin has all the things you want in a collectible bullion coin-superior quality, great design, and built-in demand as many collectors around the world love the lunar calendar coins.
The obverse side of this coin features Jody Clark’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. With the queen’s passing, coins with her image on them are in high demand as these are the last few coins that will have her likeness as future coins will have the image of King Charles III on them. In this effigy, the queen is wearing a tiara and her pearl jewelry. Above her head is ‘ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA’. Below her is ‘1/20 oz 9999 Au 5 DOLLARS’.
On the reverse is an image of two rabbits. One is standing erect appearing to sniff at the branch above their head. The other is sitting and looking off to the right. To their right is the Chinese symbol for ‘rabbit’. Under the symbol is ‘RABBIT 2023”. At the bottom right is the Perth Mint’s mint mark.
The 2023 Australian 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit is sure to fly off the shelves so be sure to get yours before they are gone. Act now.

Although this particular coin is 1/20th of an oz, and very tiny to hold. I find the quality of the coin is very impressive. I haven’t purchased perth mint products before now, and I can now see the high standards other people rave about with the perth mint. I purchased this coin to place in a ring for my wife and she absolutely loves the “lunar year of the rabbit” coin.
