The 2023 1 oz Silver Australia Year of the Rabbit Gilded (Series III) is a legal tender commemorative coin issued by the Perth Mint under the authority of the Australian government. Struck in .9999 fine silver and weighing one troy ounce, this coin belongs to a well-established gilded lunar series that incorporates selective gold plating over the primary design elements, distinguishing it from standard bullion releases within the same program.
Each coin carries a face value of one Australian dollar and arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with a box and Certificate of Authenticity included. The combination of high-purity silver, applied gilding, and official presentation packaging makes this a distinct offering that appeals to collectors focused on the Lunar Series III program as well as buyers drawn to limited-release commemoratives from one of the world's most respected sovereign mints.

Each coin carries a face value of one Australian dollar and arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with a box and Certificate of Authenticity included. The combination of high-purity silver, applied gilding, and official presentation packaging makes this a distinct offering that appeals to collectors focused on the Lunar Series III program as well as buyers drawn to limited-release commemoratives from one of the world's most respected sovereign mints.
The Perth Mint has issued lunar-themed coins since 1996, beginning with the original Lunar Series I program that ran through 2007. The series draws from the Chinese lunar calendar, dedicating each annual release to one of twelve zodiac animals and cycling through three complete series over more than three decades of continuous production. The Year of the Rabbit falls in positions four within each twelve-year cycle, and the 2023 release marks the fourth coin in the Lunar Series III program, which launched in 2020.
The Perth Mint itself was established in 1899 as the third branch of the British Royal Mint operating in Australia, and it has evolved into one of the most prolific precious metals facilities in the world. It is recognized globally for the technical quality of its coin production, the breadth of its numismatic programs, and its reputation for limited-edition special finishes including gilded, colorized, and piedfort releases. The gilded variant of the Lunar Series III represents one of the more refined treatments the mint applies to its annual lunar offerings.
The reverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of a rabbit rendered in the naturalistic, high-relief style that has characterized the Lunar Series III program. The application of selective gold gilding highlights the central rabbit figure against the coin's polished silver surface, creating a strong visual contrast that emphasizes the artistry of the design. The reverse also includes the coin's weight, purity, and the year of issue as part of the standard inscriptions.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Perth Mint legal tender issues at the time of this coin's production. The portrait is surrounded by the inscriptions identifying the coin's face value and issuing authority. The overall composition reflects the precision finish that Perth Mint applies to its Brilliant Uncirculated commemorative releases, with the gilding executed to a standard that complements rather than overwhelms the underlying design.
The Perth Mint strikes the Lunar Series III gilded coins to a stated weight of one troy ounce and a purity of .9999 fine silver, with each piece verified as part of the mint's standard production and quality process. The Certificate of Authenticity included with every coin confirms the specifications and serves as the mint's formal documentation of the coin's origin and composition. This level of documentation is consistent with what we expect from sovereign mints whose products we carry.
Every product we sell is verified for authenticity before it reaches our customers. Our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC reflect our commitment to the authentication standards recognized at the highest levels of the industry. For a coin like this one, which combines a collectible finish with standard precious metal content, that verification matters both at the point of acquisition and when ownership eventually changes hands.
This coin is graded Brilliant Uncirculated, meaning it has not been placed into circulation and retains the full sharpness, surface quality, and finish as struck at the Perth Mint. The BU designation is appropriate for a commemorative release of this nature, where surface integrity and the quality of the gilding are relevant to the coin's overall presentation and collectibility.
Each coin ships in its original Perth Mint presentation box accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. This packaging is standard for the gilded variants within the Lunar Series III program, and it is included as part of the product as listed. The box and COA are part of the complete collectible, and we treat the packaging as an integral component of what you receive rather than an afterthought. Individual coins ship as described with the original box and documentation intact.
The base price of this coin is tied to the spot price of silver, which fluctuates continuously based on global supply and demand. Beyond the metal value, the premium on a gilded commemorative reflects several compounding factors: the Perth Mint's production quality, the selective gilding process, the limited-edition nature of the release, and the inclusion of original presentation packaging and documentation.
Gilded coins from the Perth Mint's Lunar Series typically carry higher premiums than standard bullion strikes within the same program, and those premiums tend to be more stable over time because demand is driven by collector interest as much as by metal pricing. Our pricing reflects real-time spot movement while accounting for the fixed premium characteristics of a product in this category.
The Perth Mint Lunar Series is one of the most widely traded sovereign coin programs in the world, and the Year of the Rabbit is recognized across international bullion and numismatic markets. Standard Lunar Series coins have strong resale demand in both the collector and bullion markets, and the gilded variants carry additional collector interest that can support their premium at the point of resale. Coins presented with their original box and COA intact are generally more competitive in secondary market environments.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to sell as well as buy within the same platform. Liquidity is something we believe should be considered before a purchase is made, not only when it is time to sell. Our buy/sell model is structured to support informed decisions at both ends of the transaction.
The gilded Series III Rabbit coin occupies a specific position within the broader Perth Mint Lunar lineup: it offers the same .9999 fine silver content as the standard release but with a specialized finish and presentation that appeals to collectors building a complete gilded subset of the series. For buyers focused on the Lunar Series III program, the gilded variants represent an annual release with a distinct visual identity and a higher degree of production specificity than standard issues.
The inclusion of the original box and Certificate of Authenticity adds practical value beyond the coin itself, ensuring that documentation of the coin's origin and specifications travels with it throughout its ownership history. For a commemorative release, that completeness matters both to the collector and to anyone who may acquire the coin in the future.
We built our business around transparency and long-term customer trust, and those principles show up in how we price, authenticate, and fulfill every order. Our pricing reflects live market conditions rather than arbitrary markups, and our two-way market means we take equal responsibility for both the buying and selling experience. We carry an A rating with the Better Business Bureau, hold memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and operate as an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC.
For a product like the gilded Lunar Series III Rabbit, where collector condition and packaging completeness are relevant, working with a dealer that takes authentication and handling seriously matters. We source from reputable mints, refineries, and authorized distributors, and every product is verified before it ships. Our goal is to provide a buying experience that is straightforward, well-documented, and backed by a team that understands what you are purchasing and why it matters.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across the precious metals catalog, including silver commemoratives and limited-edition releases like the Lunar Series III gilded coins. For products that carry collector premiums above standard bullion rates, having real-time visibility into wholesale pricing and historical premium trends helps members evaluate whether current market conditions align with their objectives. Pro also includes proprietary market intelligence tools that allow members to assess premium percentile rankings, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics for individual products rather than relying on broad assumptions.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live executable wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more accurate picture of current liquidation value across their holdings. For a collector building a complete gilded Lunar series, this level of pricing visibility and market context provides a meaningful informational advantage compared to evaluating products through standard retail listings alone.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the transaction process straightforward and secure. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Every transaction is processed through a secure environment, and our fulfillment process is designed to ensure your order arrives reliably and as described.
