Surrounding this effigy is the lunar calendar wheel, which features all 12 animals of the Chinese calendar.
On the reverse of 2023 Royal Australian Mint Silver Year of the Rabbit Coins, there is a beautiful rabbit design. In this design, the rabbit’s body faces right with its head turned at an angle.

According to the lunar tradition, the rabbit is considered the luckiest of the 12 animals in the Chinese calendar. Per popular legend, the rabbit was chosen as the pet of the moon goddess Chang’e, which is where the creature earned its auspicious reputation. Some also believe that the rabbit is the incarnation of Chang’e and that its shape can be seen in the moon itself.
