The Filigree technique has never been used in coin minting before.

The mint of Finland will issue the Cabbage Rabbit Filigree coin on October 15th. In the middle of the collector coin there is a delicate rabbit made of filigree. The Cabbage Rabbit Filigree coin is a part of the Mint of Finland’s Year of the Rabbit series. The collector coin illustrates the popular Chinese Lunar theme. Chinese astrology designates year 2011 as the Year of the Rabbit.

Filigree – traditional hand-craft art as a centerpiece for modern design?
Filigree is a delicate kind of jewel work made with twisted threads usually of silver or other alloys. The silver wire is not much bigger than the thickness of a hair so making the filigree is very intricate, requiring fine attention to detail and steady hands. The filigree technique has been used in jewelry making for thousands of years but it has never been used in coin minting before.

  2011 – Fiji Chinese Lunar Calendar – Filigree Year of The Rabbit

  2012 – Fiji Chinese Lunar Calendar – Filigree Year of The Dragon

  2013 – Fiji Chinese Lunar Calendar – Filigree Year of The Snake
