{{/presale}}The Singapore Mint and the Monetary Authority of Macau have partnered to issue the popular Macau Lunar Coines series. That series celebrates Macau’s World Heritage Sites and their unique blend of Chinese and Portuguese culture alongside the various signs of the traditional Chinese lunar Zosiac. Each coin is a showcase for elegant design and innovative craftsmanship, commemorating the fortunes and unique characteristics of the open-spirited, earnest, and fairness-minded people typically thought to be born under the Rabbit sign. The 2023 Proof Macau Lunar Rabbit 1/2 oz Gold Coin is available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The 2023 Proof Macau Lunar Rabbit Gold Coin comes in an elegant wooden case inside a secure capsule, sporting a mirrored proof-like finish and rims decorated with gorgeous gold Swarovski rings. All shipments are fully insured against loss or damage, and each comes with an individual Certificate of Authenticity.
Obverse
The coin’s obverse side features a vivid pink Rabbit built from detailed Portuguese-inspired tiles with geometric patterns. It’s surrounded by fine engravings of lotus flowers and accompanied by the inscriptions “MACAU, CHINA,” “500 PATACAS,” and “2023” in both English and Mandarin.
Reverse
The reverse side is dominated by a high-relief engraving of that site with the inscription “OLD CITY WALLS” in English, Mandarin, and Portuguese, along with a verification of the coin’s silver content.
History
After it returned to the fold of Chinese rule following a period as a Portuguese Colony, the Special Administrative Region of Macau has been tasked among other things with preserving the region’s unique history and culture. A fusion of Portuguese and Chinese art and architecture, cuisine and tradition that built up over centuries remains a part of Macau’s identity to this day, with World Heritage Sites like the Old City Walls still preserved as one of the world’s most densely-populated and prosperous cities has grown around them. This extends to currency, with the Monetary Authority of Macau continuing to issue the Macanese Pataca with a value pegged directly to that of the Hong Kong Dollar.
