| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, full-color depiction of a running hare in mid-stride, rendered naturalistically with fine fur texture, set against a silvered field with a tuft of green grass rendered in color beneath the animal. To the upper left of the hare, the Chinese character 兔 (rabbit) is inscribed in the field. The border consists of an ornate decorative ring featuring alternating pearl-bead and meander (Greek key) motifs in relief, evoking traditional Chinese decorative art. The legend YEAR OF THE RABBIT arcs along the upper border, and the date 2023 appears in the lower exergue within the decorative frame. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued animal-themed lunar coins under licensing arrangements since the late 1990s, typically produced by European mints on contract rather than struck domestically — Palau has no mint of its own. The KM#979.1 designation suggests this falls within a numbered series variant, likely distinguished from a companion piece by finish or privy mark rather than a substantive design difference.
