The Chinese Gold Panda Series began in 1982 and has grown into one of the most respected and widely collected gold coin programs in the world. Issued annually by the People’s Republic of China, these coins are known for their rotating panda designs and exceptional purity. Now, the 1988 1/4 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is available to you online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse design of the 1988 1/4 oz Gold Panda Coin displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, a prominent structure within Beijing’s Temple of Heaven. This building has been featured on every Gold Panda obverse since 1982. Surrounding inscriptions include the nation’s name in Chinese characters and the year of issue.
On the reverse of 1988 Chinese Gold Pandas, this edition presents a giant panda seated and clutching a bamboo shoot, a pose that emphasizes the gentle nature of this iconic species. The panda-bamboo relationship represents one of nature’s most precarious evolutionary partnerships. Bamboo species flower and die off cyclically every 15-120 years, creating periodic food crises that have historically driven panda populations to near extinction.
Giant pandas have evolved an extraordinary dependence on bamboo, with this grass comprising 99% of their diet despite their carnivorous digestive system. Their specialized anatomy includes pseudo-thumbs for gripping bamboo stalks, powerful jaw muscles for crushing tough fibers, and enlarged molars for grinding. This relationship is so crucial that pandas must consume 26-84 pounds of bamboo daily to meet their nutritional needs.
These 1988 1/4 oz Gold Panda Coins are available here with a sealed protective plastic pouch. The 1988 issue in the series was just the seventh overall, and the coins feature a shared design found on all five weights offered by the Chinese Mint.
