{{/presale}}The China Mint’s shaped coins commemorating the Lunar New Year are some of its most popular, owing to a consistent track record for fun and vivid designs and artwork and meticulous craftsmanship. Using hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikings, the mint produces dazzling proof-quality pure silver collectibles that make a worthy addition to any collection. A shaped coin celebrating the quick and resourceful nature of the Rabbit is no exception. Those born in the Year of the Rabbit are seen as being intelligent and open personalities who are intelligent, vigilant and have a can-do attitude to problem-solving, and it’s those elements of the Rabbit’s personality that are celebrated on the 2023 Chinese Lunar Year of the Rabbit Blossom 30 Gram Silver Coin, available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The 2023 Silver Chinese Lunar Year of the Rabbit Blossom Coin is a proof-quality collectible with frosted details rising above mirror-like fields. Each shipment is tracked and fully insured against loss or damage by the team at Provident Metals and arrives in an official mint box with a mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity. Struck in a stylized flower shape, these coins are certain to be popular on the domestic market, meaning that relatively few pieces from the limited mintage might reach international collectors. We recommend ordering early.
Obverse
China’s national emblem is featured on the coin’s obverse side, verifying it as legal tender. This is accompanied by inscriptions for the year of issue and “People’s Republic of China” in Mandarin Chinese.
Reverse
The coin’s reverse features a mischievously smiling Rabbit caught in the act of digging armfuls of lettuce out of a garden. The scene features holographic elements and an inscription confirming the coin’s face value.
History
All around the world, coin ranges that celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year have grown in popularity in recent years. Tied to an annual event celebrated by a quarter of the world’s population, these coins provide a chance to tap into a wide array of designs and themes with a rich and evocative cultural context. They offer a satisfying variety of designs and themes and the chance for collectors to assemble “complete” sets that span the Chinese zodiac in the space of little more than a decade. The China Mint’s contributions to this space are particularly prized internationally, as so few of these coins ever reach markets outside of Asia.
