To commemorate the Lunar Year of the Rabbit, the Royal Australian Mint has introduced the 2023 $1 Uncirculated Two-Coin Set, featuring the graceful Rabbit and the Lunar calendar wheel. This set makes for a perfect traditional gift for the Lunar New Year.

Those born in the Year of the Rabbit are considered to be noble, elegant, and charming.
