China Macau 100 patacas Rabbit Year Lunar Calendar PR70 PCGS silver coin 1999

Issued in 1999, this Macau 100 Patacas silver coin belongs to the acclaimed Lunar Calendar series and is dedicated to the Year of the Rabbit — a symbol of peace, elegance, sensitivity, and good fortune in Chinese tradition. Struck in outstanding Proof quality and certified PR70 DCAM by PCGS, this coin represents absolute perfection, combining flawless surfaces with deep cameo contrast and refined artistic execution.

The obverse features a delicately sculpted rabbit seated calmly in profile. Fine engraving captures the soft fur texture, expressive eyes, upright ears, slender legs, and graceful posture, conveying gentleness and alertness. Chinese characters appear beside the animal, while the denomination “100 PATACAS” is placed below. The frosted relief stands out sharply against the mirror-like fields, framed by a precise reeded border that enhances the coin’s elegance.

The reverse depicts the iconic Ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral in Macau, rendered with remarkable architectural detail. The façade shows layered levels, arched openings, columns, niches, sculptural ornaments, and decorative stonework. The inscription “MACAU” arches above the structure, with the date “1999” below, while a circle of stars surrounds the central motif, adding symmetry and visual harmony.

Struck in silver and preserved in a PCGS holder, this Year of the Rabbit issue is a top-tier example of Macau’s Lunar Zodiac program. A prestigious choice for collectors of zodiac themes, Asian symbolism, Macau coinage, and elite-grade certified silver coins.
