Comment
Interesting fact
The 2011 Year of the Rabbit gold coin from France was part of a series of lunar-themed coins issued by the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint) to celebrate the Chinese zodiac. The coin features a design of two rabbits on the reverse side, one depicted in a traditional Chinese style and the other in a more modern interpretation. The obverse side bears the portrait of Marianne, the allegorical symbol of France. The coin was struck in gold (.920) and has a weight of 8.45 grams. It was a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and investors.
