Lunar Significance

2023 marks the Year of the Rabbit, the fourth animal in the Lunar cycle. Known as the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year is celebrated around the world and symbolises renewal, hope, and prosperity. Those born under the sign of the Rabbit (1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023) are believed to be kind, sensitive, and socially gifted.

In Chinese culture, rabbits are associated with the moon, and are thought to manifest peace, luck, and prosperity—making this coin a meaningful keepsake as well as a striking collectable.

Design Highlights

• Reverse: Two exquisitely detailed rabbits dominate the large flan, surrounded by delicate cherry blossoms, the symbolic flower of the Lunar New Year. Selected blossoms are plated in genuine rose gold, creating a beautiful contrast against the silver background. Hidden within the foliage is the Chinese pinyin symbol for “rabbit”, rewarding close inspection.
• Obverse: Displays the official Solomon Islands legal tender effigy.
