| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed high-relief depiction of a rabbit in three-quarter profile, rendered in a classical Chinese artistic style against a background of stylized clouds and a large circular moon. The rabbit is shown in a naturalistic yet elegant posture, with prominent ears and delicate fur texturing occupying the central field. The denomination 100000元 is inscribed in the lower right portion of the field, while the Chinese characters 癸卯 (denoting the Guimao year in the traditional sexagenary cycle) appear vertically along the upper right margin. Decorative floral and cloud motifs fill the remaining field, reflecting the aesthetic conventions of Chinese lunar commemorative series. |

| Additional information |
The 10-kilogram gold Lunar Series coin is among the most physically substantial issues produced by the People's Bank of China, struck at the Shanghai Mint in a strictly limited quantity — typically fewer than 30 pieces per year for these maximum-weight Lunar issues. Allocation is tightly controlled, with most examples going directly to institutional buyers and state-affiliated collectors rather than entering any secondary market in the conventional sense.
The 2023 Rabbit issue falls within China's second Lunar Series cycle, which began in 2010 and runs parallel to the traditional twelve-year zodiac calendar.
