I saw those weeks ago.

I guess they must be past the embargo date now.

That was exactly how I felt after seeing the two designs. I much prefer the silver design.

The pose of the rabbit on the gold one just doesn't seems natural, definitely the weakest design in the series

The gold design screams “WHEEEEEEE!”

The Silver one is lovely. Not sure about the gold at all.

Silver is fantastic. I don't like the gold at all.

The gold is giving me serious Watership Down vibes and I'm not sure why...maybe something to do with the...rabbit perhaps?

In seriousness though, the silver is a fantastic design and certainly the most realistic but there is something about the stylistic design of the gold that I kinda like.

Rabbits running round the room!

Our first delivery of 2023 Australia Perth Mint Rabbits arrived recently. These are the bullion versions in silver and gold, in some sizes:

As most TSF members already know, every size of the silver bullion coins has the same reverse design. The only design difference is the denomination and weight shown on the obverse:

Here is a Gold one:

and the obverse:

I like both gold and silver versions, but I note that most TSF members seem to prefer the silver design.
