The Chinese Mint introduced its popular Chinese Gold Panda Series in 1982. Among the weights offered in that first year were 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins, with a 1/20 oz gold coin introduced in 1983. The leading hallmark of this series is its use of new Giant Panda designs each year. Today, 1982 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
When the Chinese Mint first introduced Gold Pandas, the series featured the aforementioned four weights for investors. Since 1982, the image of the Giant Panda on the reverse of the coin has been changed each year, with one exception. The only date to feature a repeat design was the 2002 coin, a release that used the 2001 design.
All 1982 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available here with protective plastic. From the first year of issue in the series, these coins come with a limited final mintage of only 13,391 coins. Giant pandas are iconic black and white bears native to the mountainous regions of central China. Classified as carnivores, they have evolved to specialize in a herbivorous diet consisting almost entirely of bamboo.
On the obverse of 1982 Chinese Gold Pandas, you will find the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This building is the primary structure in the Temple of Heaven Complex, a religious complex located in south-central Beijing. The design shows the staircase leading to the main entrance of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests.
The reverse side of the 1982 1/2 oz Gold Panda Coin comes with a depiction of a Giant Panda seated while holding a bamboo branch. The dietary adaptation of the panda is remarkable considering pandas possess the digestive system of a carnivore, with a short intestine not ideally suited for breaking down plant material. To compensate, pandas must consume massive amounts of bamboo daily—between 20 to 40 pounds—spending 10 to 16 hours eating to extract sufficient nutrients from this low-calorie food source.
