Since its introduction in 1982, the Chinese Gold Panda Series has held a strong appeal for both investors and collectors. In its initial years, the series used weights based on the Troy ounce and featured face values that were later increased after 2001. The debut release included four weights, 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz, with the 1/20 oz gold coin added to the lineup in 1983. Right now, 1987-S 1/4 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1987-S 1/4 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is housed in a sealed plastic pouch for protection. These coins carry the S mint mark of the Shanghai Mint, marking the only year in the Gold Panda Series to feature coins with an S mint mark.
Giant pandas typically inhabit fragmented and isolated ranges, a factor that has contributed to their status as an endangered species. These patterns are directly related to their diet, as each panda requires large expanses of forest to meet its nutritional needs. A single panda may need up to 10 square kilometers of forested habitat to forage enough bamboo. On average, pandas consume up to 38 kilograms of bamboo daily to support their diet, which demands high intake due to the plant’s low nutritional value.
The obverse side of the 1987-S Chinese Gold Panda features a design that has remained consistent since the series’ inception. This side displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, the centerpiece of Beijing’s Temple of Heaven. This historic structure has been a defining visual element of the Gold Panda series since 1982.
On the reverse of 1987-S 1 oz Gold Panda Coins, the design delivers a distinct portrayal of the giant panda. This year’s artwork shows the panda leaning down to drink from the edge of a pond, with subtle ripples forming across the surface. Bamboo stalks are seen nearby, reinforcing the panda’s dependence on its native environment.
