The Chinese Gold Panda was introduced by the Chinese Mint in 1982. This series originally offered coins with Troy ounce weights, introducing 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold in 1982, followed by 1/20 oz gold in 1983. A long-standing hallmark of this series is the use of new depictions of the Giant Panda each year. Now, 1998 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
For the obverse design of the 1998 1/2 oz Gold Panda Coin, you’ll find the image of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This design has graced the obverse of Gold Panda Coins since 1982 and shows the exterior facade of the building, which is the largest in the Temple of Heaven Complex.
In the reverse of 1998 Chinese Gold Pandas, the design for this release features a Giant Panda sitting on a rock ledge. Bamboo is present in the background, with the panda clutching a small bamboo branch in its paw. Giant pandas have evolved one of the most specialized diets among mammals, with bamboo constituting over 99% of their food intake despite their digestive system retaining the characteristics of a carnivore.
Occasionally, pandas will supplement their diet with other vegetation, eggs, small rodents, or carrion when available. Their inefficient digestion means they absorb only about 20% of the nutrients from the bamboo they consume, explaining their relatively low energy levels and limited reproductive rates compared to other bear species.
These 1998 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available in sealed plastic pouches. These specimens have a low mintage of only 4,168 coins. Each one is what is known as a Small Date specimen. This indicates the Chinese Mint’s use of smaller, more enclosed numerals in the date mark.
