The 2011 1/4 oz Australia Gold Lunar Rabbit is a government-issued bullion coin struck by The Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold. As part of the acclaimed Lunar Series II program, it carries a face value backed by the Australian government and represents one of the most respected annual release programs in the global gold coin market. The quarter-ounce format makes it a compact, precisely weighted piece that fits naturally into a range of collecting and holding strategies.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the standard commercial release quality from The Perth Mint. With its combination of high purity, recognized design program, and fractional sizing, the Rabbit issue consistently attracts both focused series collectors and buyers seeking smaller-denomination gold from a premier sovereign mint.

The quarter-ounce format makes it a compact, precisely weighted piece that fits naturally into a range of collecting and holding strategies.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting the standard commercial release quality from The Perth Mint. With its combination of high purity, recognized design program, and fractional sizing, the Rabbit issue consistently attracts both focused series collectors and buyers seeking smaller-denomination gold from a premier sovereign mint.
The Perth Mint launched its Lunar Series II program in 2008, building on the foundation of the original Lunar Series I that began in 1996. Each annual release in the series features a different animal from the Chinese zodiac calendar, with the Rabbit representing the fourth coin in the Series II lineup. The 2011 date corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit, a cycle that recurs every twelve years in the traditional Chinese calendar, giving each release a defined cultural significance and a fixed point in the broader series arc.
The Perth Mint operates under the authority of the Western Australian government and holds a reputation as one of the most technically sophisticated minting operations in the world. Its Lunar releases have distinguished themselves from other sovereign programs through consistent design quality, high mintage transparency, and strict purity standards. The Series II program refined the artistic approach of its predecessor while maintaining the same annual structure, creating a complete twelve-coin set that concludes with the 2019 Year of the Pig.
The reverse of the 2011 Rabbit coin features a detailed depiction of a rabbit set against a natural background that reflects traditional Chinese artistic sensibility. The design incorporates the Chinese character for "rabbit," along with the year of issue, the coin's weight, purity, and metal content. The overall composition is balanced and precise, with engraving that takes full advantage of The Perth Mint's high-relief production capabilities.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, an image used across Commonwealth coinage during this period. The portrait is encircled by the standard inscriptions identifying the issuing authority and the coin's legal tender denomination of 25 Australian dollars. The contrast between the detailed reverse design and the clean classical portrait creates a visually cohesive coin that reads clearly even at the quarter-ounce scale.
The Brilliant Uncirculated finish delivers a sharp, luster-forward surface that highlights the engraved detail on both sides. The Perth Mint's production standards at this finish level are consistent and precise, producing coins that present well straight from their original packaging.
At a quarter troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, this coin occupies a practical middle ground between the smaller tenth-ounce and the full one-ounce denomination. For buyers who want meaningful gold content without committing to a full ounce at current market prices, the quarter-ounce format delivers a tangible amount of metal at a lower absolute cost per coin. It also allows for more granular position sizing when building or adjusting a gold holdings strategy.
The fractional format carries a higher premium per ounce than the full-ounce Rabbit release, which is typical across the industry for smaller denominations due to the fixed production and design costs spread over less metal content. Buyers who understand this tradeoff often factor it into broader diversification decisions, balancing fractional pieces alongside larger formats depending on their preferences and objectives.
Each coin in the Lunar Series II program is struck to The Perth Mint's exacting standards, with weight and purity certified at .9999 fine gold and 0.25 troy ounces. The Perth Mint is internationally recognized for its production tolerances, and the Series II program reflects the mint's commitment to consistent, verifiable specifications across each annual release. These standards are not incidental to the coin's appeal; they are central to its recognition and tradability in global bullion markets.
Every product we carry is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches a customer. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further reinforce the authentication infrastructure we operate within, and we source gold coins from reputable mints, distributors, and wholesalers whose products meet established industry standards. When you purchase through us, you are transacting with a dealer whose sourcing and verification practices are grounded in industry accountability.
Brilliant Uncirculated, often abbreviated BU, refers to coins that have not been placed into circulation and retain their original mint luster. This condition designation reflects the commercial release standard from The Perth Mint rather than a specially graded or certified finish. BU coins may exhibit minor contact marks from handling during the minting and packaging process, which is consistent with this condition level and does not indicate a defect.
Individual coins typically ship in a protective plastic flip to preserve their surface quality during transit. A standard tube for the 2011 1/4 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit holds 20 coins, and orders at that quantity ship in the sealed tube. Larger bulk quantities ship in sealed boxes containing the appropriate number of tubes. When ordering a single coin or a quantity that does not fill a complete tube, the flip packaging provides secure, low-contact protection that maintains the coin's BU presentation.
The price of this coin moves in direct relationship to the spot price of gold, with a premium added above spot to reflect the costs of production, distribution, and the recognized value of the Lunar Series II program. Quarter-ounce coins from high-profile series like this one typically carry a wider percentage premium over spot compared to full-ounce bullion coins, reflecting both the fractional sizing and the collectibility associated with the annual series format.
Demand for specific Lunar Series II dates can vary depending on the zodiac symbol, collector interest in completing sets, and the overall availability of a given year in the secondary market. The 2011 Rabbit year carries broad cultural significance and tends to attract buyer interest beyond the standard bullion audience. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and the bid/ask spread displayed on the product page offers a transparent view of current acquisition and resale values.
The 2011 Australia Gold Lunar Rabbit benefits from the broad global recognition of both The Perth Mint and the Lunar Series II program. Government-issued gold coins at .9999 purity with standardized weights are among the more readily traded products in the secondary market, and the Lunar series commands attention from both bullion buyers and collectors who follow the annual releases. The recognized format and sovereign backing contribute to its tradability across dealer and exchange platforms worldwide.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell within the same platform. Liquidity should factor into any decision about which gold products to hold, and the Lunar Series II coins generally maintain active buyer interest that supports resale when the time comes. Our competitive buyback pricing is designed to offer a clear and efficient exit path without requiring customers to navigate unfamiliar third-party channels.
The 2011 Rabbit coin combines the appeal of a government-backed, .9999 fine gold coin with the added dimension of a defined annual series that attracts dedicated collectors. Unlike generic bullion rounds or bars, each Lunar Series II release occupies a fixed place in a twelve-coin program, which supports sustained demand from buyers working to complete the full set. That collector interest creates a demand profile that can differ meaningfully from standard bullion gold at comparable weights.
The quarter-ounce format adds a degree of flexibility that the full-ounce issue cannot offer, making this coin accessible at a lower absolute price point while still carrying the same purity and sovereign credentials. For buyers who want genuine Perth Mint gold in a fractional size, with recognized cultural significance and series collectibility built in, the 2011 Rabbit represents a well-defined and specific product rather than a generic gold holding.
We have built our business since 2010 on a straightforward principle: transparent pricing, honest sourcing, and treating customers as informed participants rather than passive buyers. Our pricing reflects live market conditions, and our bid/ask spread is displayed openly on every product page so you can evaluate both the cost to acquire and the expected resale value before making a decision. That level of clarity is central to how we operate.
We maintain an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and hold active memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we operate within a framework of professional accountability that shapes how we source, verify, and fulfill every order. Our two-way market model means we are equally focused on the sell side of the transaction, not just the purchase, and our payment infrastructure is built to make every step of the process secure and straightforward.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of gold coins, including Lunar Series releases like this one. Rather than working from estimated or delayed pricing, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups applied on top. For a product like the 2011 Rabbit, where premiums can fluctuate based on collector demand and secondary market availability, having visibility into live wholesale pricing provides a more accurate picture of actual market conditions.
Pro members can also evaluate their gold holdings using live wholesale bid pricing for portfolio valuation, giving a more realistic view of current liquidation value than retail-based estimates allow. Proprietary research tools let members compare premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics across products, so decisions about which coins to hold or add can be grounded in observable market data rather than assumptions. For buyers who approach gold with a longer-term perspective, that level of transparency meaningfully improves the quality of every transaction.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing straightforward and secure at every transaction size. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, and bank-connected payments through Plaid for direct account transfers. Wire transfer and paper check are available for buyers who prefer traditional payment channels, and cryptocurrency payments are processed through BitPay for those who prefer digital currency.
Each payment method is integrated into a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information and ensure reliable order processing. Whether you are adding a single quarter-ounce Rabbit coin to an existing collection or completing a larger purchase, the checkout process is built to be clear, efficient, and backed by responsive customer support if any questions arise.
