The silver series and the gold series started at different times, so three silver issues were released in a single year. Now, the series are synchronized.
Both the silver series and the gold series have colorized versions, where the coins are covered with enamel from the mint.
There is a silver version that is gilded with 24-kt gold to highlight parts of the coins.
The really special coins are the 10-kg silver coins that are colorized, and have jewels inserted as eyes. Series I used only diamonds, but series II uses various gemstones, giving each coin an appropriately colored insert.
This is the colorized series II rabbit with the jewel eye. This image is from the Perth Mint.
