| Additional information |
China's lunar silver series has been issued annually since 1981, making the Rabbit one of the later entries in an already well-established program. The 2011 issue corresponds to the Year of the Rabbit in the sexagenary cycle — specifically a Metal Rabbit year, a designation that recurs only every sixty years. Mintage for the 1-oz lunar silvers from this period was capped by the People's Bank of China, though secondary market premiums have historically been driven more by the Rabbit's position as a favored zodiac sign across East and Southeast Asian markets than by raw mintage figures.
