why are there two lunar rabits 2023 from australias perth mint?

I just noticed the year of the ____ series and how some have done absolutely great!  But I noticed this year there are two different versions, theres the series III but then theres another with a low mintage.

Why two?

You need to give more details or post some photos of the two versions, without this info it is  impossible to know what are you referring.

Series 3 of the lunars from Perth mint has one design for the silver coins regardless of the size 1/2 oz, 1oz, 2oz, 5oz, 1kilo or 10kilos. Perth has release the silver coins in  different quality's BU, proof, antique and colored, however the basic design specs is the same . 

 

PS: I hope you are not confusing the RAM (Royal Australian Mint) design with the Perth mint version

Tturns out I was, had no idea Australia had two mints that both offer legal tender.  so now im not sure if one is a private company that got a license to make legal tender coins (I think its this one) or if its just two different mints ran by the government, kinda like how canada has ottawa and Winnipeg and usa has san francisco, westpoint and Philly.

There are two versions available, one from Perth Mint, one from RAM😮 Perth mint went private, RAM is the official one

It's worth making clear that the Perth Mint is the more well known / popular of the Lunar coins and we are now on the 3rd Series.

Although the RAM has a Lunar Series, it is better known for the annual Kangaroo coins.
