Chinese Gold Panda

Chinese Gold Panda History

We have gold Panda coins for sale at low premiums, perfect for investors and collectors. Originally produced in the traditional troy ounce system, from 2016, to suit the international appeal of the coins, the system was replaced by a metric system of grams, a system widely used in the People's Republic of China. This makes the gold Panda series quite unusual in official bullion coins.

The central feature of the Panda coins is unsurprisingly the titular animal. As the most famous animal of the People's Republic of China with its affectionate characteristics, a new design is used each year, adding a collectable touch to the series.

The obverse side shows part of the famous Tiantán, also called the "Temple of Heaven". The pagoda is synonymous with traditional Chinese architecture. The series also include the Chinese silver Pandas as with many other popular bullion series.
