| Reverse description | A rabbit rendered in a striking geometric mosaic or stained-glass style occupies the central field, depicted in a crouching pose facing right, its body composed of interlocking polygonal segments with selective black oxidation creating strong contrast against the burnished silver relief. A textured foliate background fills the field behind the figure. At the top, an octagonal cartouche frames the Chinese character 兔 (rabbit). The legend LUNAR OUNCE arcs along the left border and 2023 appears at the upper right, while YEAR OF THE RABBIT is inscribed vertically at the left of the field and 1oz FINE SILVER 999 curves along the lower right periphery. |

Rwanda's National Bank has issued a long-running lunar series targeting the international bullion and collector market — a deliberate revenue strategy common among smaller African nations whose domestic coin needs are modest. The Rabbit issue continues that program for 2023.
