| Additional information |
The "Year of the Rabbit" series from Perth Mint belongs to the Lunar Series III program, which launched in 2020 as the third iteration of Perth's Chinese zodiac coinage cycle — the first having begun in 1996. This particular quadrant piece is one of four coins designed to be physically assembled into a single composite image, a format Perth introduced to drive set-collecting behavior in the bullion market.
Elizabeth II died on 8 September 2022, making this among the earliest Perth Mint issues to carry her posthumous effigy under the new post-accession portrait protocols.
