2023 2 oz Year of the Rabbit Gold Coin - Lunar Series III
Heavier than the usual one-troy-ounce coin but not that big to make storage a complicated matter, the 2 oz coin is another weight option for investors and collectors who intend to purchase a larger quantity of gold bullion in a single piece.
The Lunar Series III, a vast collection comprising varied sizes and metal content, releases the 2023 edition with the Year of the Rabbit motif.
2023 is the fourth strike of the series, stamping the Chinese Zodiac Signs. The previous editions had designed the Tiger, the Ox, and the Mouse.
Containing 2 oz of 99.99% of fine gold, legal tender status, and a face value of $200, fully guaranteed by the Federal Government of Australia, 2023 2 oz Year of the Rabbit Gold Coins are now available online from SD Bullion.

The Design
The Year of the Rabbit coin showcases a leaping rabbit in its natural habitat on the reverse side. Along with the image, the inscriptions read “RABBIT 2023”. Chinese symbols that correspond to the animals lie aside, and the engraved “P” represents the Perth Mint mintmark.
The obverse features a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. Around the effigy, it reads “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” “2 oz 9999 Au,” and “200 DOLLARS” for the Queen’s name, country of mintage, the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, and denomination.
The Year of the Rabbit
According to Chinese tradition, the Zodiac Signs correspond to 12 animals that succeed each year. Those born at a particular animal year would receive the same personality traits as that animal. So those born in 2023, or the previous 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, and 2011, tend to be kind, creative, and smart as a rabbit.
