The 2023 2 oz Australia Gold Lunar Rabbit is a legal tender bullion coin struck by The Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold as part of the third iteration of the widely followed Australian Lunar series. At two troy ounces, it occupies a distinct position in the Lunar lineup, offering a substantially larger gold canvas than the standard one-ounce issue while remaining far more accessible than the kilogram and multi-kilogram formats. The coin carries legal tender status under Australian law and bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which is the standard presentation for Perth Mint bullion releases in this series. For buyers looking to add a high-purity, government-issued gold coin with strong international recognition to their holdings, the two-ounce Lunar Rabbit is a compelling format to consider.

We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which is the standard presentation for Perth Mint bullion releases in this series. For buyers looking to add a high-purity, government-issued gold coin with strong international recognition to their holdings, the two-ounce Lunar Rabbit is a compelling format to consider.
The Australian Lunar series traces its origins to 1996, when The Perth Mint launched the first series as part of its broader effort to expand its presence in the global bullion coin market. Series I ran from 1996 through 2007, followed by Series II from 2008 through 2019. Series III began in 2020 and follows the same 12-year cycle of animals drawn from the Chinese lunar calendar. Each annual release features a different zodiac animal, with the Rabbit corresponding to 2023.
The Perth Mint, established in 1899 and owned by the Government of Western Australia, is one of the world's most respected sovereign minting institutions. It is recognized globally for its high-purity gold output and consistent production standards. The mint mark "P" appearing on these coins identifies The Perth Mint specifically and is a well-known authentication marker among collectors and bullion dealers worldwide.
The Lunar series has built a dedicated following across three decades precisely because its designs change annually, creating a natural incentive for collectors to acquire each year's release. Within the broader Australian coin program, the Lunar series stands apart for its combination of high-purity metal content and genuine numismatic appeal.
The reverse of the 2023 issue features an intricately rendered rabbit design exclusive to Series III. The Perth Mint's engravers depict the rabbit in a naturalistic style, often incorporating floral elements or traditional motifs that reflect the cultural significance of the animal within the Chinese zodiac. The coin's larger two-ounce format gives the design considerably more room to breathe compared to fractional issues, allowing for greater detail and compositional depth.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coins during this period. Surrounding inscriptions include the face value, the year of issue, and weight and purity designations confirming the coin's specification. The "P" mint mark appears as a subtle but meaningful identifier for collectors familiar with the series.
The coin's Brilliant Uncirculated finish gives it a clean, sharp appearance with well-defined fields and crisp relief. The combination of high-relief design work and .9999 fine gold gives the surface a characteristic warmth and depth that distinguishes it visually from standard bullion strikes at lower purities.
Each 2023 2 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit is struck in .9999 fine gold by The Perth Mint, one of the few sovereign mints in the world consistently producing four-nines fine gold coins at scale. The mint subjects its products to rigorous quality control, and the weight and purity specifications on every coin are backed by Australian government authority. These are not generically sourced rounds or private refinery products; they carry the full institutional backing of a government-owned 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 the grading and authentication standards expected at that level of the market. Buyers who wish to have their coins independently certified by a third-party grading service will find the process straightforward given the coin's well-documented production history and strong collector demand.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has not been in circulation and retains its original mint-issued finish. BU is the standard condition for bullion releases from The Perth Mint and represents the coin as it comes directly from production, without the enhanced surface treatment of a proof strike but with clean, unmarked fields and sharp design detail throughout.
Individual coins are shipped in protective plastic flips to prevent contact damage and preserve surface quality. The Perth Mint typically packages the 2 oz Lunar gold coins in tubes of 15 coins, and larger sealed box quantities are available for bulk orders. If you are purchasing a single coin, it will arrive in a flip. Tube or box formats apply when orders meet the corresponding quantity thresholds.
Pricing for the 2023 2 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit is based on the current spot price of gold, with a premium added to reflect the coin's production cost, mint reputation, and market demand. Two-ounce gold coins typically carry a lower per-ounce premium than fractional issues but a higher premium than standard one-ounce bullion in most market conditions, largely because the format serves a narrower audience and commands collector interest in addition to its metal value.
The Lunar series historically maintains firmer premiums than generic bullion products due to its annual design rotation and the collector demand that accompanies each new release. Once a specific year sells out at the mint, secondary market pricing reflects both the underlying gold value and whatever scarcity premium develops over time. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured to give buyers a clear picture of what they are paying relative to spot.
The 2023 2 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit is widely recognized within the international bullion market. Its government-backed issuance, .9999 gold purity, and Perth Mint provenance make it straightforwardly identifiable to dealers, grading services, and buyers across multiple markets. The Lunar series specifically has a well-established resale ecosystem built around both its metal content and its collectibility.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Liquidity should factor into any decision to acquire a specific product format, and we display bid/ask spread data on our product pages to give buyers a complete view of the transaction rather than focusing only on the purchase side. The Lunar series generally supports efficient resale given its global recognition and sustained demand.
The two-ounce format offers a meaningful departure from the standard one-ounce Lunar issue. It concentrates more metal value in a single coin, which can be practical for buyers who prefer fewer, larger pieces over multiple smaller ones. At .9999 fine gold, the coin meets the purity threshold required by most gold IRA custodians and international settlement standards, making it functionally versatile beyond simple ownership.
The Rabbit occupies a culturally significant position in the Chinese zodiac, which historically drives elevated demand for Rabbit-year issues within Asian markets and among diaspora collector communities worldwide. This demand dynamic is one reason the 2023 edition tends to be sought after beyond the standard Lunar collector base. The combination of legal tender status, government backing, distinctive annual design, and high purity makes the two-ounce Lunar Rabbit a well-rounded choice for buyers who want more than a generic gold product.
We have built our reputation since 2010 on transparent pricing, consistent product authentication, and a genuine commitment to long-term customer relationships. Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it ships. As a member of both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and as an authorized dealer for PCGS and NGC, we operate within a framework of professional accountability that matters when you are buying gold.
Our two-way market model means we are as focused on the sell side of a transaction as the buy side. We display bid/ask spreads on our product pages so buyers can evaluate the full cost of ownership, not just the purchase price. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects the consistency and integrity we bring to every transaction. The experience is designed to be straightforward, informed, and built around what is best for the customer rather than optimized for a single sale.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2023 2 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit, allowing them to see exactly how the coin trades at the wholesale level rather than relying on indicative retail prices. Members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation using current wholesale bid pricing, which provides a more accurate picture of what holdings are worth under current market conditions rather than estimated retail values.
For a product like this one, where premiums and bid/ask spreads can shift meaningfully based on collector demand and broader gold market activity, Pro's proprietary analytics and product research tools give buyers a clear view of how pricing conditions are evolving. Historical premium data, spread analysis, and liquidity metrics help members evaluate whether current market conditions represent an efficient entry point, using objective data rather than marketing claims.
We support a full range of payment methods to make the buying process simple and secure. Customers can pay 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 method is processed through a secure transaction environment designed to protect your information and confirm your order efficiently.
Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card, the directness of a wire transfer, or the flexibility of cryptocurrency, we have structured our payment infrastructure to accommodate the preferences of a wide range of buyers. Security and convenience are built into every step of the transaction.
