Chinese Panda Gold Coins are among the most popular gold coins for sale in the world. The series debuted in 1982 after the South African Krugerrand Gold Coins 1967 debut and the Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins debut in 1979. The Giant Panda is the focus of the series for the reverse design and comes with a new image on that side each year. Today, you have the opportunity to purchase a perfect condition 2018 Chinese Panda 30 Gram Gold Coin online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The Chinese Mint introduced the Chinese Panda Gold Coin in 1982 with a 1 oz gold, 1/2 oz gold, 1/4 oz gold, and 1/10 oz gold coin. The mint then immediately expanded in 1983 to include a 1/20 oz gold coin. The coins were issued as such through 2015, with the Chinese Mint switching over to Grams in 2016. The 1 oz coin became the 30 Gram gold coin, with the fractional-ounce coins changing to 15 Grams, 8 Grams, 3 Grams, and 1 Gram.
Obverse
The obverse features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This design has featured on the reverse side of the 2018 Chinese Panda 30 Gram Gold Coins since 1982 when the series launched at the Chinese Mint. The designs come with an inscription of Peoples Republic of China in Mandarin above the design and 2018 below the design field.
Reverse
On the reverse face of 2018 Chinese Panda 30 Gram Gold Coins is a front-facing depiction of the Giant Panda. The design focuses on the face of the Giant Panda as it stares directly at a bushel of bamboo leaves in its paw. Inscriptions on this face of the coin read 30 g Au .999 and 500 with the symbol for Yuan.
History
The Chinese Mint uses new designs on the reverse of the Chinese Panda Gold Coin each year. The only exception came when the Chinese Mint announced in 2001 that it would no longer support new designs, resulting in the 2002 replicating the same 2001 design. An uproar from numismatists forced the Chinese Mint to reverse its position and return to fresh reverse coin designs in 2003 and continuing to this point.
