100 Patacas Year of the Rabbit

Macau's lunar series coins are struck under the Monetary Authority rather than a mint of its own — production is contracted out, in this case to the Shanghai Mint, which has handled much of China's official bullion and commemorative output since the 1980s. The 155.52g specification places this in the five-troy-ounce category, a format that became commercially dominant in the Asian collector market during the 2010s as demand for large-format silver premiums outpaced interest in standard one-ounce issues.

The Rabbit year in the current 60-year cycle ran from January 22, 2023 to February 9, 2024.
