Celebrate your favourite Rabbit!
Do you know anyone who was born in 1999, 1987, 1975,
1963, 1951, 1939, 1927, 1915 or 1903—or is about to be
born in 2011? They are Rabbit personalities and likely
posses some of the same characteristics as world famous
Ingrid Bergman, David Rockefeller or Albert Einstein.
People born during the Year of the Rabbit can always
be counted on for their good manners, sound counsel
and kind disposition. The Rabbit strives to live a tranquil
existence and will do anything to avoid conflict. Don’t be
fooled by the Rabbit’s soft and vulnerable exterior. This
determined creature is quite strong and resilient. The
Rabbit knows what it wants and is the Chinese zodiac
most likely to find true happiness.
I purchased this coin because I'm trying to accumulate all of the Year of the Rabbit coins issued worldwide. (It's my zodiac sign.) I was struck by the beauty of this issue's shape and illustration. I believe it would make a wonderful gift or keepsake.

I purchased two sets of these coins when they were first announced. These coins are absolutely wonderful for a personal collection or as a gift idea. Having lived in China for the past eight years these coins have particular significance in my life now and will be something I treasure for the rest of my life.

Images of symbolic beauty for my grand children. I'm playing around with narrative threads in their lives. Four grandchildren. Your coins are one thread. Poetry, music, spirituality, outdoor education, are others. Camping, hiking,nature, natural history. It all plays a part.

After viewing this coin online it seemed unusual and not very appealing from a standard mindset of what a coin should be. But after seeing it in person I felt compelled to buy it. The box was nice enough but 92.5% fine silver? What was wrong with 100% silver? Also after paying over a $100 with TAX the plastic coin cover was scratched. The mintage on my card was also 48888, can I get a new certificate from the mint with the proper mintage?

I have received the Tiger and Rabbit coins. Both had scratches on the plastic encapsulation cases, which takes away from the overall presentation. This was my first purchase from RCM. I had heard they prided themselves on quality. It appears that isn't always true. Given the price of these coins, greater care should be taken during packaging.
