The 2011 Australia Gold Lunar Rabbit is a one troy ounce bullion coin struck in .9999 fine gold by The Perth Mint as part of its Series II Lunar collection. Issued with legal tender status under the Australian government, this coin carries a face value and bears the official Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse. The Rabbit is the fourth release in the Series II lineup, which launched in 2008 and draws on the Chinese lunar calendar for its annual designs.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, making it suitable both for those who stack based on metal content and those who value coins in pristine, unhandled states. Its combination of government backing, four-nines purity, and one-ounce weight makes it one of the more recognized sovereign gold coins in the global bullion market.

Its combination of government backing, four-nines purity, and one-ounce weight makes it one of the more recognized sovereign gold coins in the global bullion market.
The Perth Mint has been producing gold coins since 1899, originally as a branch of the British Royal Mint and later as a standalone entity under the Western Australian government. It established a strong international reputation for precision minting and consistently high production standards. The Lunar series was introduced by The Perth Mint in 1996 with the Series I lineup, which ran through 2007 before giving way to the redesigned Series II in 2008.
Series II features a new set of designs across twelve annual releases representing each animal in the Chinese lunar calendar. The 2011 Rabbit is the fourth coin in this second series and was produced in limited mintages relative to major sovereign bullion programs, giving it modest scarcity relative to stackable generics. The Chinese lunar calendar holds significant cultural resonance across Asian markets, and The Perth Mint developed this series with that collector base explicitly in mind alongside standard bullion buyers.
The reverse of the 2011 Gold Lunar Rabbit features a detailed artistic rendering of a rabbit in a naturalistic setting, surrounded by floral and foliate elements characteristic of the Series II design sensibility. The inscription "Australian Kangaroo" does not appear here; instead, the reverse reads "Year of the Rabbit" along with the year of issue, the coin's weight, purity, and the Perth Mint's iconic "P" mintmark. The composition is more intricate than typical bullion reverses, with finer decorative detail that distinguishes it from utilitarian stackers.
The obverse carries the standard Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which has appeared consistently across Australian legal tender coinage. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions denoting the issuing country and face value. The overall finish on Brilliant Uncirculated examples reflects The Perth Mint's precise die work, with sharp field definition and clean relief transitions across both sides of the coin.
The Perth Mint is one of the few mints in the world with an unbroken track record of producing .9999 fine gold coinage to exacting tolerances. Each coin is struck to a confirmed weight of one troy ounce and carries specifications that are fully verifiable against published mint standards. The "P" mintmark on the reverse serves as a direct reference to The Perth Mint and is one of the most recognized authenticity indicators in the sovereign gold market.
We verify all products for authenticity, weight, and purity before they reach our customers. Our authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC supports our ability to facilitate third-party grading for customers who want an additional layer of professional authentication, though Brilliant Uncirculated examples in original packaging are widely accepted on their own merits in the marketplace.
Brilliant Uncirculated refers to coins that have been struck for general distribution rather than as proofs, but which have not entered circulation and retain their original mint surface quality. BU examples exhibit sharp detail with no wear, though minor contact marks from handling during the minting and packaging process can occasionally be present. This is expected for the grade and does not affect the coin's metal content, weight, or recognized bullion value.
Individual coins ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve surface condition during transit. Tubes of 20 coins are standard for this issue from The Perth Mint and ship intact when a tube-quantity order is placed. Larger orders filling a sealed box will ship in The Perth Mint's standard outer packaging configuration. Regardless of quantity, packaging is selected to minimize movement and maintain condition from the time the order leaves our facility to the time it arrives with you.
Pricing for the 2011 Gold Lunar Rabbit is based on the real-time spot price of gold, with a premium added to reflect the coin's production costs, government-backed issuance, and collector positioning. Because this is a dated, limited-mintage issue rather than a continuously produced bullion coin, its premium tends to be higher than generic gold rounds or even some current-year sovereign issues. Secondary market demand from both bullion buyers and lunar series collectors plays a meaningful role in how that premium behaves over time.
Our pricing reflects live market conditions and is structured for transparency. The bid/ask spread displayed on this product page shows the full picture of what the market currently supports on both the buy and sell sides, giving you a clearer understanding of the true cost of ownership before committing to a purchase.
One-ounce .9999 fine gold coins from The Perth Mint are globally recognized and trade actively in both retail and wholesale bullion markets. The Lunar Rabbit benefits from two distinct demand pools: buyers focused purely on gold content and collectors specifically targeting the Lunar Series II, which creates more nuanced liquidity than a generic round or bar would carry. That dual demand can support stronger bids depending on current market conditions and the availability of the specific date.
We operate a two-way market, which means you can sell this coin back to us directly rather than navigating third-party platforms or dealer relationships outside our ecosystem. Competitive buyback pricing is a core part of how we operate, and we encourage buyers to evaluate liquidity before a purchase is made, not only when it is time to sell.
The 2011 Gold Lunar Rabbit stands out among sovereign bullion coins for combining the credibility of Perth Mint production and Australian legal tender status with a design that resonates across both Western and Asian collector markets. Its .9999 purity is among the highest available in one-ounce sovereign gold coinage, and the limited-mintage structure of the Lunar series gives each dated release a distinct market identity that current-year issues cannot replicate.
For buyers who want government-backed gold with character beyond the standard annual bullion coin, this coin offers a meaningful alternative. The Series II Lunar coins have developed a genuine collector following, and the 2011 Rabbit in particular benefits from the broad cultural significance of the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese lunar calendar.
We have built our operation around a straightforward principle: buyers deserve honest pricing, verified products, and the confidence that comes from working with a dealer that stands behind what it sells. Since 2010, we have developed the sourcing relationships, authentication standards, and customer infrastructure needed to back that commitment consistently. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects how we handle transactions over time, not just at the point of sale.
We are members of both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and our authorized dealer status with PCGS and NGC gives customers access to professional grading services when needed. Products are verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before fulfillment. We source from reputable mints, refineries, wholesalers, and distributors, and we do not compromise on that standard regardless of market conditions.
The experience we have built is designed to be transparent from start to finish. Real-time pricing, visible bid/ask spreads, competitive buyback options, and responsive customer service are all part of the same commitment to treating buyers as informed participants rather than passive customers.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2011 Gold Lunar Rabbit, allowing you to transact at wholesale market levels rather than standard retail price points. Because the Lunar series carries premiums that fluctuate based on collector demand, date scarcity, and broader gold market conditions, having access to real-time premium data and historical premium analysis through Pro can meaningfully inform when and how you buy or sell. Portfolio valuation through Pro is based on live executable wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving you a more realistic picture of what your holdings are worth at any given moment.
Pro members also gain access to product research tools that allow direct comparison of premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across the catalog. For a dated, limited-mintage coin with its own market dynamics, these tools provide objective context that standard product listings alone cannot offer. The goal is to reduce the information gap that has historically made physical precious metals harder to evaluate than other asset classes.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make your purchase as straightforward as possible. Major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are all accepted, along with PayPal and bank-connected payments through Plaid for customers who prefer direct account access. Wire transfer and paper check are available for larger transactions, and we accept cryptocurrency payments through BitPay for buyers who prefer to transact in digital currency.
Every transaction is processed with security and convenience in mind. Whether you are buying a single coin or filling a tube, the payment process is designed to be clean, transparent, and completed without unnecessary friction.
