Product Description
MOON RABBIT – Oriental Culture Collection – 2021 50 Grams Pure Silver Antique Finish Coin with Jade Insert – Niue
The coin tells us one Chinese legend about the adorable Rabbit on the Moon.
The Moon Rabbit is a mythical figure who lives on the Moon in Far Eastern folklore, based on pareidolia interpretations that identify the dark markings on the near side of the Moon as a rabbit. The first time people found out about him was from Chinese collection of poems “Verses of the Chu”, where it goes about a rabbit that lives in the Moon Palace and all year round, crushes in a mortar potion of immortality. Some poets of the Han dynasty often called him a “jade rabbit”, that’s why the coin is decorated with a jade inset.
An awesome coin depicting the Moon Rabbit, which is still pounding the elixir of life in its pestle!
