The name itself. “opal,” means “precious,” and this exotic stone is believed by many cultures to bring good luck and love. And now it can bring YOU a bit of good fortune in 2023 as part of Australia’s Opal Lunar Series.
Crafted Using An Authentic Australian opal

The colorful opal forms the silhouette of a quick and resourceful Rabbit in the coin’s inner ring set against a black background. The coin’s outer ring features an intricate pattern along while in a middle ring a series of snapdragons—lucky flowers for those born in the Year of the Rabbit—are depicted along with the inscription “YEAR OF THE RABBIT,” and the Chinese character for “Rabbit.” Also engraved are the 2023 year-date, the coin’s weight, purity, and The Perth Mint’s traditional “P” mintmark.
