Your purchase of Chinese Panda 1/4 oz Gold Coins in this listing entitles you to a near-perfect Gold Panda coin. A Mint State 69 certification from PCGS or NGC indicates a coin with full, original mint luster and no more than two minor detracting flaws. Those flaws are limited in nature to minuscule contact marks or hairlines and must be located outside of the primary focal points of the coin design field.

Obverse

The obverse side of Chinese Panda 1/4 oz Gold Coins includes a depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This building is the primary structure in the Temple of Heaven complex. The Temple of Heaven is one of four major Taoist religious sites in Beijing.

Reverse

On the reverse of Chinese Panda Gold Coins is a depiction of the Giant Panda species. These lovable bears inhabit the mountainous regions of central China and are easily identifiable for their black-and-white fur patches. The Giant Panda design is changed on the reverse every year, with only the 2001 and 2002 coins sharing the same design.

History

Chinese Panda 1/4 oz Gold Coins were released when the series debuted in 1982. The coin remained available in this weight until 2015 when the Chinese Mint shifted to Grams. The coin that replaced the 1/4 oz weight is the 8 Gram option.

Ordering

This is a random-year listing. Your coin will be chosen once your payment has been processed. We cannot guarantee the date mark and design you receive.
