Macau Lunar Rabbit 1 oz 999 Fine Silver Proof Colour Coin

The 4th Macau Lunar Coin Series (2020-2031) is issued by the Monetary Authority of Macau and exclusively minted by The Singapore Mint. The 4th Lunar Coin Series demonstrates the characteristics of Macau's World Heritage Sites and showcases the unique blend of Macau’s Chinese and Portuguese culture through the tasteful design elements and innovative craftsmanship.

The obverse design of the coin features a lively tamed rabbit, portrayed with vibrant display of pink coloured Portuguese-inspired patterned tiles. Embellishing the background are lotuses, the city flower of Macau, adding to the intricacy of the coin design. The accompanying text are also thoughtfully arranged to resemble the Map of the Macau Peninsula.

The reverse design of the coin features the Old City Walls intricately minted with high relief minting technique. The Old City Walls are remnants of early Portuguese tradition of constructing defensive walls around the port settlements. Built using an elaborate mixture of clay, soil, sand, rice straw, crushed rocks and oyster shells compacted in successive layers, the Old City Walls shoulder the great responsibility as the guardian of the city. The coin is designed with a side angle perspective which shows the sturdiness and toughness of the Old City Walls.

The 5 oz silver coins are each adorned with a sparkling Swarovski crystal, and the gold coins are each embellished with an exquisite gold Swarovski crystal ring, creating a dazzling collection!
