To celebrate the Lunar Year of the Rabbit, the Royal Australian Mint has released this 2023 $1 Uncirculated Two-Coin Set featuring the decent and elegant Rabbit and the Lunar calendar wheel. The set is designed to appeal to collectors or those seeking an auspicious and traditional gift for Lunar New Year.
The Rabbit is the fourth of the twelve signs in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, The moon goddess Chang'e has a rabbit as her pet, with the belief that it is the only creature amiable enough to match the goddess’ noble beauty. It is also believed that the Rabbit is the incarnation of the moon goddess herself and is always a symbol of pureness and auspiciousness.
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are said to be noble, elegant and lovely. Famous Rabbits include Queen Victoria, Albert Einstein, actors Charlize Theron and Brad Pitt, sportsman Tiger Woods and David Beckham and Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson and astronaut Andy Thomas.
