| Additional information |
The 10-kilogram gold coin series from the Perth Mint occupies an unusual position in modern bullion production — these are legal tender instruments that will never circulate, struck in limited numbers primarily for institutional collectors and sovereign wealth funds. The Year of the Rabbit issue sits within the second full rotation of Perth's Lunar Series II, which launched in 2008 with refined designs and the step up to .9999 fineness from the .999 of Series I.
At 180 mm across, the dies required to strike this piece are among the largest in the facility's operational history. Perth has never disclosed exact mintage figures for the 10 kg denomination, but production is understood to be in the single digits annually.
