2023 Great Britain £2 1-oz Silver Lunar Year of the Rabbit Proof

An English Rabbit Prepares To Celebrate The Chinese New Year

Some people believe that rabbits are a symbol of eternity and a sign of fertility. Others believe the appearance of rabbits each spring signals a renewal of life. While many myths and legends portray rabbits as a guide between heaven, the earth, and the underground, rabbits today are most closely associated with luck. They are also part of the Chinese Lunar Calendar and made with 2023 marking the next “Rabbit Year” occurrence, Great Britain’s Royal Mint has made a frisky little bunny the tenth release in its popular Shēngxiào Collection that pays tribute to the animals of China’s Lunar Calendar.

The Brave Adventurous Rabbit

This 2023-dated release shows a captivating image of a rabbit designed by noted United Kingdom artist Louie Maryon that captures the rabbit’s characteristic qualities. This little fellow has his floppy ears pined back as leaves cascade down around him. One little foot is raised, and you can almost see his little nose twitching as if he’s trying to catch a scent of fresh vegetables somewhere nearby. The coin has also been engraved with “YEAR OF THE RABBIT • 2023” along the top of the rim along with the Chinese symbol for Rabbit. It’s a wonderful and exciting design that perfectly matches the spirit of the rabbit’s personality. Those born during the Year of the Rabbit are seen as being vigilant, witty, quick-minded, and ingenious—all traits embodied by the rabbit depicted on this legal-tender £2 coin
