The Perth Mint strikes each Lunar animal for one year only, and the 2023 Year of the Rabbit closes that door with a full ounce of .9999 fine silver. These coins belong to the Australian Lunar Series III, the third twelve-year run of the mint's best known silver program, and each one is legal tender in Australia with a face value of one dollar. Every piece holds one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver in the wide, low-profile 45.60 mm format the series is known for, struck to a brilliant uncirculated finish and housed in a protective acrylic capsule.

The obverse carries Jody Clark's effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in sharp relief, framed by the legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA, with the weight and purity marks 1 oz 9999 Ag and the 1 DOLLAR denomination below. The reverse presents a quiet garden scene with two rabbits, one standing on its hind legs beneath a blossoming branch and the other seated alert in the grass. The Chinese character for rabbit appears at the right above the word RABBIT and the 2023 date, with the Perth Mint P mintmark in the lower field.

Lunar designs run for a single year and are never reissued, which gives each animal a defined place in the twelve-year cycle and keeps collector demand steady alongside ordinary silver buying. The broad planchet gives the frosted devices unusual room against bright, open fields, and the capsule guards those fields from handling marks. Backing all of that is Perth Mint pedigree, a recognized .9999 purity standard, and the broad dealer acceptance that comes with a sovereign-issued silver coin. If you are building a silver position on government-minted issues, Lunar Series III coins combine that liquidity with a collectible series structure.
