Each 1999 Chinese Panda 1 oz Gold Coin at Provident Metals comes sealed in a protective plastic pouch. These coins are distinguished as Small Date versions, meaning the numbers in the year mark are smaller and closer together than those on other 1999 Panda coins.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 1999 Chinese Panda Gold Coin, youll see the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, a key part of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The design shows the wide staircase leading to the temples main entrance, offering a glimpse of traditional Chinese architectural beauty.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 1999 Panda 1 oz Gold Coin shows a Giant Panda standing on a rocky ledge. The panda is looking downward, which captures its curious and playful spirit. Adult pandas are unusual among mammals because they stay playful throughout their lives, a trait that helps explain why they continue to capture hearts around the world.

History

Giant pandas are famous for their playful nature, especially when it comes to rolling and sliding. In both the wild and captivity, pandas love to find slopes or hillsides where they can tumble down for fun. Researchers have noted that pandas will often climb up just to slide down repeatedly, suggesting that playing is an important and natural part of their behavior.
