The ancient lunar zodiac comprises 12 animal signs, each said to bestow desirable characteristics on those born under its influence. According to tradition, rabbit people born in 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011 and 2023 will likely be blessed with intelligence, creativity, compassion and vigilance.
The coloured artistry of each contemporary coin seamlessly blends to create a harmonious and pleasing panorama featuring rabbits in a countryside setting. The top coin depicts two rabbits bounding under cherry blossom; the right-hand coin depicts an upright rabbit among cabbages and sunflowers; the bottom coin depicts a doe and two kittens near their burrow with daisies and a cabbage; the left-hand coin depicts a rabbit crouching among nasturtiums and daisies. Included on each of the four coins is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
