The Chinese Mint introduced the Gold Panda bullion coin series in 1982. Originally available in four weights, the series expanded in 1983 to include a fifth weight for investors. The Chinese Panda program is known for its ever-changing depictions of the Giant Panda on the reverse, a hallmark that other programs would adopt in the future. Right now, 1986 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1986 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin comes in a sealed plastic pouch. The 1986 issue of the Gold Panda was just the fifth in the program’s history and came at a time when the series was still issued with Troy ounces. Today, the 1/2 oz Gold Panda is offered as a 15 Gram Gold Panda instead.
The Giant Panda, also known as the “Panda Bear”, is a unique and iconic species native to the bamboo forests of central China. These captivating creatures are members of the bear family, but unlike their carnivorous cousins, pandas are almost exclusively herbivorous, subsisting primarily on various species of bamboo.
The obverse of 1986 Chinese Gold Pandas comes with a depiction of a building known as the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This structure is at the center of the Temple of Heaven Complex in Beijing, a Taoist religious site.
On the reverse of 1986 1/2 oz Gold Panda Coins, you will find a solitary Giant Panda. This year’s unique design showcases the panda as it walks amidst bamboo. The panda design features varying finishes to create contrast between the elements of the panda’s figure, helping to distinguish what would be its white fur and its black fur.
