Chinese Gold Panda Coins are among the most popular gold bullion coins in the world. Introduced in 1982, the key feature of the Gold Panda Series is the use of new Giant Panda designs each year. In fact, the series has seen only one repeat design in its four-decade-plus history. Now, 1996 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins with Large Dates are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
For the obverse of 1996 1 oz Gold Panda Coins, you will find the static design that has featured on the coins since 1982. This building is known as the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. It is the central structure in the Temple of Heaven Complex, which was completed in 1420 and is located in south-central Beijing.
In the reverse design of the 1996 Chinese Gold Panda, the mint features a unique design for this issue. The 1996 coins featured the image of a small panda cub up in the branches of a tree. Panda cubs are well known for their playful behavior, a characteristic that helps them build social skills and strength, while also preparing them to thrive on their own as adults.
Giant pandas evolved exclusively in the bamboo forests of central China over millions of years, with their ancestors dating back to the late Miocene epoch. These remarkable bears developed their specialized bamboo diet and distinctive black-and-white coloration as adaptations to their mountainous habitat in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. Archaeological evidence suggests pandas once roamed across a much broader range throughout southern China and into Southeast Asia.
These 1996 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are sealed in protective plastic and come from the Large Date series. This term refers to the size of the numerals used in the date mark on the coin. Large Date characteristics are noticeable in both the size of the numbers and the space between the numbers in the date mark on the obverse.
