The inspiration of the pattern on the front of the gold notes comes from the classic Dunhuang mural "The Three Hares". In the picture, three rabbits share three ears, and each rabbit has two ears. The rabbits represent the Trikalea Buddhas - Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future.

In addition, this stamp album collects the previous three rounds of the Year of the Rabbit zodiac stamps issued by China Post, which have a long span, and are now precious and rare. All stamps are accompanied by a collection appraisal certificate issued by an authoritative organization.

The golden note adopts precision laser micro-hole anti-counterfeiting technology, high-touch gravure printing technology and high-definition watermark integration, which improve its reserve value.
