China 10 yuan Lunar Calendar Year of the Rabbit PR67 PCGS silver coin 1987

The China 10 Yuan Lunar Calendar Year of the Rabbit silver coin 1987 is an important early issue from China’s highly collectible Lunar Calendar series. Issued by the People’s Republic of China in 1987 with a face value of 10 yuan, this coin celebrates the Year of the Rabbit — a zodiac sign symbolizing gentleness, harmony, elegance, sensitivity, and good fortune. Early lunar issues such as this are especially valued for their classic artistry and historical significance.

The reverse features a charming scene with two rabbits depicted in natural poses. One rabbit rests calmly while the other sits alert beside it, their long ears, soft fur texture, expressive eyes, and delicate limbs finely engraved. A flowering plant with leaves and blossoms rises behind them, symbolizing growth, renewal, and peace. The denomination “10 元” is clearly placed below, while Chinese characters identifying the lunar year appear above, all set against mirrored proof fields that enhance contrast and detail.

The obverse displays a detailed image of a traditional multi-tiered pagoda, shown with layered roofs, ornate eaves, stone steps, walls, and surrounding landscape elements. The architectural engraving conveys depth and symmetry. Chinese inscriptions identify the issuing country, with the date “1987” positioned beneath the structure.

Struck in silver with a proof finish and certified by PCGS as PR67 DCAM, this coin represents an attractive combination of early-series rarity, cultural symbolism, and refined craftsmanship, making it a desirable piece for lunar and modern Chinese coin collectors.
