The 2023 5 oz Australia Silver Lunar Rabbit is a legal tender bullion coin struck by The Perth Mint in .999 fine silver. Issued as part of the third installment of the Australian Lunar Series, it carries a face value authorized by the Australian government and features year-specific design themes tied to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The five-ounce format occupies a distinctive position in the Lunar lineup, offering a larger canvas for design detail while maintaining the series' hallmark production quality.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting The Perth Mint's standard for sharp relief, clean fields, and consistent surface quality across the production run. The P mint mark identifies this piece as a product of the Perth facility, which is among the most respected sovereign mints in the world for its silver bullion output.

We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting The Perth Mint's standard for sharp relief, clean fields, and consistent surface quality across the production run. The P mint mark identifies this piece as a product of the Perth facility, which is among the most respected sovereign mints in the world for its silver bullion output.
The Australian Lunar Series has its roots in 1996, when The Perth Mint launched its first twelve-year cycle celebrating the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Series II followed beginning in 2008, and Series III commenced in 2020 with a fresh set of designs that update and expand on the visual language established over the preceding cycles. Each year within the series corresponds to a different zodiac animal, with 2023 designated as the Year of the Rabbit.
The Perth Mint itself dates to 1899, originally established as a branch of the British Royal Mint. It has since evolved into one of the most technically sophisticated precious metals facilities in the world, producing coins, bars, and specialty bullion products distributed across global markets. Its Lunar Series has become one of the most recognized annual collector and bullion programs in the silver market, attracting both stackers and collectors drawn to the combination of consistent quality and rotating designs.
The Rabbit holds particular cultural significance in Chinese tradition, associated with grace, good fortune, and longevity. That symbolism has contributed to sustained collector interest in 2023-dated Lunar issues across all formats and weights.
The reverse of this coin features a beautifully rendered rabbit set within a detailed natural composition. The Perth Mint's engravers incorporated fine texture work to differentiate the animal's fur from the surrounding environment, giving the design a lifelike quality that benefits from the larger five-ounce format. The year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content are inscribed on the reverse alongside the Perth Mint's iconic "P" mint mark.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coins through 2022. Given the 2023 issue date, this coin falls within a transitional period for Australian coinage portraiture, which adds an element of numismatic interest for some collectors. The face value denomination is also included on the obverse as part of the coin's legal tender status under Australian law.
The coin is struck with a Brilliant Uncirculated finish, producing crisp design elements, well-defined edges, and fields that reflect the precision of Perth's minting process. The five-ounce size allows the rabbit imagery to achieve a depth of detail that smaller denominations in the same series cannot match.
Every coin in this series is struck by The Perth Mint to exacting tolerances, with .999 fine silver content and a stated weight of five troy ounces subject to strict quality control standards maintained by the mint. Perth's reputation for precision and consistency is a significant part of why its Lunar coins trade well in both primary and secondary markets around the world.
We verify authenticity, weight, and purity on the products we carry, and our sourcing reflects long-standing relationships with reputable distributors and recognized mint networks. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to support customers who want third-party grading for their coins, which provides an additional independent layer of verification for those who prioritize certified authentication.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has not been placed into circulation and retains full mint luster and sharp strike characteristics. BU coins from The Perth Mint are produced to a consistent standard, though minor handling marks can occasionally occur during the minting and packaging process and do not indicate a grade deficiency from the mint's perspective.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to prevent contact damage during transit. The standard tube for this five-ounce coin typically holds smaller quantities than the standard one-ounce formats given the larger size of each piece. Larger quantity orders may ship in sealed mint packaging as available. If you are purchasing a quantity that corresponds to sealed mint packaging, we will ship the product in its original sealed format where possible to preserve the integrity of the packaging.
Pricing for this coin is tied directly to the real-time spot price of silver, with a premium applied above spot that reflects The Perth Mint's production costs, the collectible nature of the Lunar Series, and the five-ounce format's position within the lineup. Larger-format coins from recognized sovereign mints typically carry premiums that differ from standard one-ounce issues due to lower mintage quantities and stronger collector demand relative to pure bullion stackers.
Annual Lunar releases from Perth tend to see premium variability based on time of year, mintage levels, and secondary market supply. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions and is structured for transparency, so what you see on our product page is consistent with current wholesale and retail market dynamics rather than inflated list pricing.
The Australian Lunar Series carries strong recognition among silver buyers worldwide, and five-ounce format coins from The Perth Mint are actively traded in both collector and bullion markets. The combination of .999 purity, sovereign issuance, and annual limited production supports resale recognition across dealer networks and secondary markets globally.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both buy and sell within the same platform. Liquidity considerations are most useful when evaluated before a purchase rather than at the point of sale, and we make that information accessible through our platform so buyers can assess the bid/ask spread on this product alongside current market conditions. Understanding both sides of the transaction is central to how we approach the buying and selling experience.
The five-ounce Lunar Rabbit occupies a category that is genuinely distinct from standard one-ounce sovereign coins. The larger format supports a more elaborate expression of the design, and the Perth Mint's production quality at this size is consistently strong. For buyers who want meaningful silver weight combined with a design that has cross-market appeal to both collectors and bullion holders, this coin delivers on both dimensions.
The 2023 Year of the Rabbit carries specific cultural resonance, particularly in markets where Chinese Lunar traditions are observed, which historically broadens the collector base for Rabbit-year issues relative to some other zodiac animals. Combined with Perth's global distribution network and established reputation, this coin benefits from the kind of market familiarity that makes it straightforward to buy and sell through multiple channels.
We have built our reputation since 2010 on the principle that trust in this industry is earned through consistency and transparency, not sales pressure. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, and the bid/ask spread displayed on each product page gives buyers a complete picture of what ownership actually costs, not just the acquisition price. That transparency is something we apply across every product we carry.
Our credentials reflect the same commitment. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we can support customers who want certified grading for their coins. Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity, and our fulfillment and customer service are designed to make the experience straightforward from purchase through delivery.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like this five-ounce Lunar Rabbit, providing direct visibility into how premiums and spreads move in real time rather than relying on static retail price displays. For a coin like this, where premiums can shift based on collector demand, secondary market supply, and mintage dynamics, having access to current wholesale pricing data provides a meaningful advantage when evaluating whether current market conditions align with your buying objectives.
Pro members also benefit from real-time portfolio valuation based on live wholesale bid prices rather than estimated retail values, along with proprietary analytics covering historical premiums, spread tightness, and liquidity metrics. These tools are designed to give you a more complete picture of how this product trades across different market conditions, helping you approach both the purchase and eventual resale with objective data rather than assumptions.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make purchasing convenient and secure regardless of your preferred transaction type. Accepted methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments processed through BitPay.
Each payment method is integrated within a secure transaction environment designed to protect your personal and financial information throughout the checkout process. Whether you prefer the simplicity of a credit card or the efficiency of a wire transfer for larger purchases, we have structured our payment options to accommodate a wide range of buying preferences without compromising transaction security.
