The 2011 1/20 oz Australian Gold Lunar Rabbit is a fractional sovereign coin struck by The Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold as part of the second iteration of Australia's celebrated Lunar Series. Carrying legal tender status under Australian law, this coin represents one of the most recognized annual bullion programs issued by any government mint in the Asia-Pacific region. The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse is dedicated to the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese lunar calendar.
We carry this coin as part of our broader selection of Perth Mint gold products, which consistently rank among the most sought-after sovereign issues in the global bullion market.
The Perth Mint introduced the Gold Lunar Series in 1996 with Series I, launching a 12-year cycle of annually changing reverse designs tied to the Chinese zodiac. Series II began in 2008 with a fresh set of designs and a refined artistic direction, maintaining the annual rotation through 2019. The Rabbit, representing those born in 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, and 1999, was featured in 2011 as the f

The Perth Mint introduced the Gold Lunar Series in 1996 with Series I, launching a 12-year cycle of annually changing reverse designs tied to the Chinese zodiac. Series II began in 2008 with a fresh set of designs and a refined artistic direction, maintaining the annual rotation through 2019. The Rabbit, representing those born in 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, and 1999, was featured in 2011 as the fourth release in that second cycle.
The Perth Mint itself has operated since 1899 and is wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia. Its reputation for exceptional minting quality and purity verification has made it one of the most trusted sovereign mints in the world. The Lunar Series in particular helped establish The Perth Mint as a dominant force in the collectible bullion market, with each annual release drawing consistent attention from both bullion buyers and calendar-year collectors.
The reverse of the 2011 Rabbit coin features a detailed rendering of a rabbit surrounded by natural foliage, rendered with the fine relief work The Perth Mint is known for. The design incorporates the Chinese character for "rabbit," the year "2011," the weight, purity, and face value inscriptions, all composed within a clean, well-balanced layout. The artistic execution reflects The Perth Mint's commitment to high-resolution die work across even its smallest fractional formats.
The obverse carries the standard Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II along with the inscription "Elizabeth II Australia" and the denomination of five dollars. As a Brilliant Uncirculated coin, the surfaces exhibit sharp strike definition and a lustrous finish, with no post-mint handling wear. The 1/20 oz format maintains the full design integrity of its larger counterparts, scaled with the same precision despite the smaller canvas.
At 1/20 of a troy ounce, this coin provides access to .9999 fine gold at a fraction of the capital required for a full-ounce purchase. For buyers looking to accumulate gold gradually or diversify holdings across multiple products, the 1/20 oz format offers a practical entry point without sacrificing the minting quality or sovereign backing of the full series. It also functions well as a gifting option or as a piece for those building a zodiac-themed collection across fractional sizes.
Fractional gold typically carries a higher premium per troy ounce than full-ounce equivalents, reflecting the proportionally greater production cost spread across less metal content. That is worth factoring into purchasing decisions when comparing formats within the same series.
Each 2011 Gold Lunar Rabbit is struck at The Perth Mint to a declared purity of .9999 fine gold and a stated weight of 1/20 troy ounce. The Perth Mint's assay standards and production controls are among the most rigorous applied by any sovereign mint, and each coin is produced to exacting specifications with no tolerance for deviation. The "P" mint mark on the coin's reverse confirms its origin and provides a direct attribution to the Perth facility.
We verify authenticity, weight, and purity on all products before they reach our customers. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain strict standards when it comes to graded products and remain well-positioned to support buyers who wish to have coins professionally certified.
This coin is listed in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it was struck for collector and bullion purposes rather than circulation, and exhibits full mint luster with sharp, undisturbed surface detail. BU coins from The Perth Mint are typically packaged individually in protective plastic capsules or coin flips at the point of sale to preserve their finish. Individual purchases ship in a protective plastic flip to guard the coin's surfaces during transit.
Standard Perth Mint Lunar fractional coins of this size are typically sold in tubes of 20, and full tube quantities ship accordingly. If you are purchasing a full tube, it will arrive sealed to protect the contents and verify integrity. Exact packaging configurations may vary depending on original mint packaging and available inventory, but our fulfillment process ensures the coin arrives in a condition consistent with its BU designation.
The price of this coin is anchored to the real-time spot price of gold, with a premium applied above that base. For a fractional Perth Mint Lunar coin in BU condition, that premium reflects several converging factors: the higher per-ounce production cost of small-format coins, The Perth Mint's global reputation, the collector demand tied to the Lunar Series specifically, and the fact that the 2011 Rabbit represents a closed-year issue no longer in active production.
Our pricing updates in real time with market conditions and is structured for transparency. The bid/ask spread displayed on this product page reflects current wholesale market dynamics for this specific coin, giving buyers a clearer picture of the total cost of ownership rather than just the acquisition price.
The Australian Gold Lunar Series carries strong global recognition, particularly among buyers in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. Coins from this series trade regularly in the secondary market, supported by a well-established collector base and consistent demand tied to the zodiac cycle. The standardized .9999 purity and sovereign issuance make resale straightforward in most bullion trading environments.
We operate a two-way market that supports both purchasing and selling within the same platform. Buyers can evaluate current buyback pricing before completing a purchase, which makes it easier to assess the full picture of ownership from the outset rather than discovering resale conditions only when it is time to sell.
The 2011 Rabbit holds a distinct position within the Lunar Series as a closed-year issue tied to one of the most recognizable signs in the Chinese zodiac. Unlike ongoing-issue bullion coins, this coin cannot be restruck, which introduces a fixed-supply element that appeals to calendar-year collectors and zodiac enthusiasts alike. The combination of .9999 purity, sovereign legal tender status, and Perth Mint craftsmanship gives it credibility across both the bullion and collectible markets.
For buyers who want gold with design character rather than a generic bar or round, the Lunar Rabbit delivers a well-composed coin from one of the world's top mints in a size that keeps the entry cost low. The 1/20 oz format also makes it practical for those building complete year or size sets across the Lunar II program.
We have operated as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our focus has always been on transparency, accurate pricing, and a buying experience built around the customer rather than sales pressure. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction.
As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are well-positioned to support buyers across the full spectrum from raw bullion to professionally graded coins. Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity. Our two-way market model means you can sell back to us using competitive buyback pricing, and our pricing structure is built around clarity so you understand what you are paying and why before you commit.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like this 2011 Gold Lunar Rabbit, rather than static retail prices that may not reflect current market conditions. For a closed-year collectible bullion coin where premiums can shift meaningfully with supply and demand, having visibility into real-time wholesale pricing provides a measurable advantage in evaluating whether current market conditions align with your buying objectives.
Pro members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation using live wholesale bid prices, as well as proprietary analytics covering historical premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across the catalog. These tools allow you to compare this coin against other Lunar Series issues or alternative fractional gold products using objective data rather than guesswork.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make every transaction straightforward and secure. Buyers can complete purchases using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each payment pathway is integrated with our secure checkout process to protect your information and keep transactions reliable from start to finish.
