The Perth Mint was inspired by the charm and tradition of the Chinese zodiac and decided to make a coin series for gold and silver coins. Being a symbol of hope to the Chinese people, the Rabbit stands proudly on the reverse of the 1999 Australia 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit . It is Chinese tradition to give a newborn, paintings of rabbits with children to ensure the child has a peaceful and happy life. People who are born under the year of the Rabbit are compassionate, sweet, gentle, with a sense of humor and a desire to thrive within their household.

The design displays a lone rabbit standing on its hind legs and its eyes are focused on something in the distance. The rabbit is standing among long leaves of grass as if it is dining on nature's bounty. Written vertically along the left side of the rabbit is the date, 1999 and under the rabbit says 1/20oz .999 gold. The reverse side is the famous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the coin's denomination is written on the edge of the coin, around the rim. The 1999 Australia 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit is protected by a plastic capsule. The 1999 Australia 1/20 oz Gold Lunar Rabbit is in brilliant uncirculated condition but contains proof-like qualities.
