Lunar 2011 1 kilogram silver coin

'Year of the Rabbit' edition, the silver coin Lunar 2011, is minted in 1 kilogram of pure silver with a purity of 99.9%. This Perth Mint silver investment coin is decorated with the image of a rabbit and the Chinese character in front of it.

The year 2011 is the year of the Rabbit in the Chinese era. The unique design of the Lunar coin is changed annually to the Chinese era. This symbol has changed from cat to rabbit over the years/centuries, this was due to a misinterpretation of the pronunciation. This also contradicts the story of the origin of the Chinese zodiac: the cat came too late to be named a year after it. The rabbit is one of the twelve mythical creatures in the Chinese zodiac.

The Chinese Year of the Rabbit is: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999 and 2011.
