MOON RABBIT JADE 50 g NIUE 2 DOLLARS 2021 SILVER COIN

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!
