The Chinese Gold Panda series has been a popular choice among collectors and investors since its introduction in 1982. Known for its changing reverse designs, the series highlights a different view of the Giant Panda each year. Now available at Provident Metals, the 1994 Chinese Panda 1/2 oz Gold Coin features the Small Date engraving and a limited mintage.
Highlights:
Each 1994 Chinese Panda 1/2 oz Gold Coin is individually sealed in a plastic pouch for protection. This particular coin features the Small Date variety, meaning the numbers in the date are written in a smaller, more compact format compared to the Large Date style, where the numerals are taller and more widely spaced.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1994 Chinese Panda Gold Coin, youll find a detailed view of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, part of the larger Temple of Heaven complex located in Beijing. The artwork focuses on the main entrance of this historic building and includes inscriptions in Chinese as well as the year of issue. This design has been a consistent feature across all Chinese Panda coins since the beginning of the series.
Reverse
The reverse design on this 1994 Panda 1/2 oz Gold Coin features a calm image of a panda seated within a bamboo grove. Unlike earlier versions of the coin that showed the animal in motion, this design focuses on a quiet scene of the panda enjoying a meal, bringing attention to the creatures peaceful behavior and natural setting.
History
Pandas rely on bamboo for nearly their entire diet, and they often move from one area to another in search of fresh growth. Different parts of the plant contain different nutrients, and pandas typically look for young shoots and leaves depending on the season.
