Obverse

The obverse of the 2009 Chinese Panda Gold Coin features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, an important cultural landmark located at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. This sacred Taoist temple is a cherished symbol within Chinese heritage.

Reverse

On the reverse side of 2009 Panda 1/20 oz Gold Coins, two young Giant Pandas are seen among bamboo stalks. The artistic details, using varied finishes, bring out the contrasting black and white fur of the pandas, adding life and realism to the coins design.

History

While the Giant Panda is adored worldwide, it is still classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Factors such as habitat loss, deforestation, and bamboo shortages continue to threaten this species, with an estimated 1,800 pandas remaining in the wild. Conservation efforts, including dedicated protected areas, have been critical in helping to stabilize panda populations.
