Fractional Gold, Full Design
The 2023 1/4 oz Gold Perth Mint Lunar Year of the Rabbit gives you real .9999 fine gold in a size that is easy on the budget and easy to move. At a quarter ounce, it carries a much lower price per coin than the 1 oz version while still showing the full Rabbit design in fine detail. For stackers adding fractional gold, folks who want to own the Lunar Series in gold without stretching, or buyers looking for a meaningful gift, this is a smart pick.
Every coin ships Brilliant Uncirculated and sealed in a protective capsule, so the gold arrives exactly the way it left the Perth Mint.
A One-Year-Only Rabbit
The reverse features a rabbit captured mid-motion, with clean line work that gives it a sense of alertness and grace, framed by vegetation that ties into the Rabbit’s themes of growth and abundance. The Rabbit is the fourth animal in the Chinese zodiac and stands for calm, intuition, and quiet prosperity, which makes this coin a thoughtful gift for anyone born under the sign, including those born in 2011, 1999, 1987, and 1975. The obverse carries the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II along with the coin’s weight, purity, and $25 AUD legal tender face value. The Perth Mint retires each Lunar design after its one year, so the 2023 Rabbit was only struck in 2023 and is never made again.
Struck by the Perth Mint
The Perth Mint is one of the most trusted sovereign mints in the world, and it guarantees the weight and purity of every coin it produces. That reputation is a big part of why Perth Mint Lunar coins hold such strong demand on the secondary market, and why the annual design change and limited yearly mintages keep collectors coming back for each new animal.
Why Buyers Choose the 1/4 oz Gold
A lower entry price than full-ounce gold, real .9999 fine metal, a one-year-only design, and a size that is easy to store, gift, and trade. It is also .9999 fine and IRA-eligible in this Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Order protected and ready for your set or your safe.
FAQ
How much gold is in this coin?
A quarter troy ounce of .9999 fine gold. It is the fractional size, which keeps the price per coin well below a full-ounce gold coin while still giving you real, pure gold.
Why buy fractional gold instead of a 1 oz coin?
Fractional coins like the 1/4 oz cost less per coin, which makes them easier to buy, easier to gift, and easier to sell in smaller amounts when you want to. You give up a little on premium per ounce in exchange for that flexibility.
Can I put this in a precious metals IRA?
Yes. It is .9999 fine gold in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which meets both the IRS fineness standard and the condition custodians look for. If you want it for an IRA, reach out and we will help route it to your custodian.
Will the Rabbit design be made again?
No. The Perth Mint retires each Lunar design after its one year, so the 2023 Rabbit is only from 2023. Each year moves on to the next zodiac animal.
