Each 2011 5 oz Australian Silver Lunar Rabbit Coin comes in a protective plastic flip for safekeeping. Among the different weight options in the 2011 Lunar Rabbit series, the 5 oz coin had the second-lowest mintage, with only 8,030 struck. The lowest mintage belonged to the 10 Kilo silver coin, with just 173 produced. The most widely minted coin in the series was the 1 oz version, which reached its full cap of 300,000 coins.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2011 Australian Silver Lunar Rabbit Coin features a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This design was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley for The Royal Mint and became a familiar feature on Australian coinage. The Queen is depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2011 5 oz Silver Lunar Rabbit Coin, two rabbits are shown in a serene environment. The adult rabbit and its young kit are nestled among foliage and tree branches, creating a peaceful scene as they rest and forage.
History
The Year of the Rabbit marks the fourth position in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. This zodiac sign is associated with tranquility, diplomacy, and gradual progress. Individuals born under the rabbit sign are often recognized for their gentle nature, strong communication skills, and compassionate personality.
