The 2023 Australia Year of the Rabbit Proof 3 Coin Set is a limited-issue silver collection released by the Perth Mint as part of its ongoing Lunar Series III program. The set contains three silver proof coins with a combined weight of 3.5 troy ounces, struck to proof standard and issued with Australian legal tender status. Each coin in the set features dedicated denominations and distinct design treatments that differentiate them from standard bullion releases within the same series.
Proof sets of this kind occupy a distinct position between collectible numismatics and physical silver ownership. The coins carry government-backed face values and bear the official effigy of the monarch on the obverse, while the reverse celebrates the Year of the Rabbit in accordance with the traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar. We carry this set as part of our broader selection of Perth Mint products, recognizing its appeal to both Lunar Series collectors and buyers seeking finished, presentation-grade silver.

The set contains three silver proof coins with a combined weight of 3.5 troy ounces, struck to proof standard and issued with Australian legal tender status. Each coin in the set features dedicated denominations and distinct design treatments that differentiate them from standard bullion releases within the same series.
Proof sets of this kind occupy a distinct position between collectible numismatics and physical silver ownership. The coins carry government-backed face values and bear the official effigy of the monarch on the obverse, while the reverse celebrates the Year of the Rabbit in accordance with the traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar. We carry this set as part of our broader selection of Perth Mint products, recognizing its appeal to both Lunar Series collectors and buyers seeking finished, presentation-grade silver.
The Perth Mint has produced coins under the authority of the Australian government since 1899, making it one of the oldest and most respected minting institutions in the world. Its Lunar Series coinage program began in 1996 with the original twelve-year cycle commemorating each animal in the Chinese zodiac. The success of that first series led to Lunar Series II, and subsequently Lunar Series III, which began in 2020 and continues through 2031.
The rabbit holds the fourth position in the twelve-year Lunar cycle and is associated with qualities of elegance, creativity, and good fortune in Chinese cultural tradition. The 2023 release marks the Year of the Rabbit within the third iteration of the series, building on design and production refinements that the Perth Mint has developed over more than two decades of Lunar coinage. Proof releases within the series have consistently attracted strong collector interest due to their limited mintages and premium finishing standards.
Each coin in the set features a proof finish, which means the fields are mirror-polished and the raised design elements are treated with a frosted matte texture. This contrast, known as cameo or deep cameo in numismatic grading, gives the coins a sharp, three-dimensional visual quality that distinguishes proof strikes from bullion or brilliant uncirculated versions. The precision required to achieve this finish demands dies that are individually polished and used for a limited number of strikes before being retired.
The reverse of each coin presents a detailed depiction of one or more rabbits within a naturalistic setting, rendered with the fine detail characteristic of Perth Mint proof production. Floral and botanical elements typical of the Lunar Series III aesthetic frame the primary subject, with the year of issue and denomination inscribed in clean, balanced typography. The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the issuing denomination and country of origin. All inscriptions and imagery are struck with the exacting tolerances that define Perth Mint proof coinage.
The Perth Mint operates under Australian government authority and adheres to internationally recognized standards for silver coin production. Each coin in this set is struck from .9999 fine silver, the same purity standard used across the Perth Mint's premium proof offerings. Proof coins of this type are individually inspected during production and encapsulated prior to packaging to prevent handling damage and preserve their condition.
The set arrives in official Perth Mint presentation packaging, which itself serves as a primary authentication reference alongside the included Certificate of Authenticity. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are positioned to assist customers who wish to submit individual coins for third-party grading and encapsulation, which provides an additional layer of authentication documentation for registry collectors or resale purposes.
This set is listed as Proof Brilliant Uncirculated, reflecting the dual nature of the coins as proof-struck pieces in pristine, uncirculated condition. The "BU" designation in this context indicates that the coins have not been circulated or handled outside of controlled production and packaging environments. Each coin is individually encapsulated within a custom Perth Mint presentation box, and the set ships with an official Certificate of Authenticity confirming metal content, weight, purity, and mintage details.
The box is purpose-built to protect all three coins together as a cohesive set. We ship this product in its original Perth Mint packaging to preserve both the coins and the collectible integrity of the set as issued. Buyers should expect to receive the complete package exactly as described, including the box and COA, with no substitutions or repackaging.
Pricing for this set reflects both the current spot price of silver and the premium associated with proof-quality, limited-mintage coinage from the Perth Mint. Because the set contains 3.5 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, the metal content itself establishes a price floor that moves in line with live silver spot prices. The premium above spot accounts for the proof striking process, presentation packaging, Certificate of Authenticity, and the collector demand specific to Perth Mint Lunar Series releases.
Proof sets from this series typically carry higher premiums than standard bullion coins of equivalent weight due to their lower mintages and the additional production complexity involved. Premiums can fluctuate based on remaining market supply, collector demand for specific Lunar years, and broader silver market conditions. Our pricing reflects real-time market inputs and is structured to provide clarity across both the acquisition cost and the resale side of the transaction.
Perth Mint Lunar proof coins are recognized across international numismatic and precious metals markets, which supports their resale utility relative to less widely distributed proof issues. The combination of government-backed issuance, .9999 fine silver content, and the established collector base for Lunar Series coinage contributes to consistent market recognition when resale becomes relevant. That said, liquidity for proof sets is more collector-driven than it is for standard bullion, and pricing at resale reflects both metal content and collectible premium conditions at the time of sale.
We operate a two-way market that allows customers to both purchase and sell precious metals within the same platform. Understanding the buy/ask spread and the resale dynamics of proof coinage before purchase provides a clearer picture of total cost of ownership, which is something we actively support through transparent pricing tools and competitive buyback pricing.
This set offers a compelling combination of fine silver content and proof-quality craftsmanship from one of the world's most respected government mints. For collectors following the Perth Mint Lunar Series III, the Year of the Rabbit is a meaningful addition that maintains thematic continuity with the broader twelve-coin series arc. The three-coin format provides a complete presentation of the 2023 Rabbit designs within a single official release, making it efficient for series collectors to acquire all relevant proof variants at once.
The proof finish, limited mintage, official packaging, and COA combine to give this set more structural depth than a standard bullion purchase. Buyers who value finished, presentation-ready silver from a mint with a long institutional track record will find this set addresses those priorities directly. It functions equally well as a standalone collectible or as part of a focused Lunar Series collection.
We have been operating as a nationally recognized precious metals dealer since 2010, and our reputation is built on pricing transparency, product authenticity, and long-term customer relationships. Every product we carry, including this Perth Mint proof set, is verified for authenticity and condition before it is offered through our platform. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and 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 equipped to support customers who want to pursue professional grading for numismatic acquisitions like this one. Our platform is designed to give you the information you need at every stage of ownership, from understanding the premium you pay at acquisition to evaluating the resale side of the transaction through our two-way market. We believe transparency and informed decision-making produce better outcomes for buyers and sellers alike, and that principle runs through everything we do.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a wide range of precious metals products, including proof and collectible silver sets. For products like the Year of the Rabbit Proof 3 Coin Set, where premiums reflect both metal content and collector demand, having real-time visibility into wholesale pricing helps members understand where a product actually trades relative to its listed retail price. Pro members can also access proprietary tools that display historical premium data and bid/ask spread analysis, which adds meaningful context when evaluating proof-grade products with variable collector premiums.
Portfolio valuation within Bullion Standard 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. This is particularly useful for buyers who hold a mix of bullion and proof coinage, where the spread between acquisition cost and wholesale bid can differ significantly by product type. The goal is to give members the same kind of pricing visibility and analytical depth typically associated with more structured financial markets.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make purchasing this set as straightforward as possible. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each payment method is processed through a secure transaction environment designed to protect your financial information at every step.
Whether you prefer the convenience of a credit card or the pricing efficiency of a wire transfer, we accommodate the full range of payment preferences without compromising on security or transaction reliability. Our fulfillment process is built to match the care we put into product verification, so your order arrives as described and on schedule.
