This beautiful 5 ounce silver proof coin belongs to the impressive Mother of Pearl Lunar Series and celebrates the 2023 “Year of the Rabbit”.
It is a unique piece of art which results from the technically elaborate coloring and shaping process. A stunning 45 mm natural Mother of Pearl inlay is surrounded by a 65 mm .999 pure silver coin. The design of this inlay taking shape through ultrasonic waves together with the colorization can take up to 3 months in a sophisticated production process.
The reverse of the coin portrays a pair of charming bunnies inlayed in genuine Mother of Pearl. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Rabbit is the fourth animal sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle. The symbolic cultural meanings of the rabbit are closely related to its living habits, including vigilance, wittiness, cautiousness, deftness and self-protection.
