So…. a coin to celebrate the ‘Year of the Rabbit’. Strange, as in theory, this should have been the case every year since 2016 when Mint began their Beatrix Potter franchise lol.
Putting my cynicism aside, this is another nice coin in a nice series. Sure, we all know they are merely a reworking of bullion coins, but for skinflint BUNC collectors like us they make a nice addition to our collections 🙂
I am not sure which I would say has been my favourite one so far, but the ‘Rabbit’ is definitely up there near the top. It is a nice, simple and clear design and it really does make it look like a gentle animal. To date, all of the lunar coins also look really good in their red and Oriental-themed packaging too.
I do find it a bit odd seeing 2023 dated coins being released when we are still only in September 2022…. and this is not the first release like this either. I am no legal expert so I am just guessing this is ‘acceptable’ as they are not going out into circulation? Who knows? Money, money; wheels within wheels 😉
