China’s iconic Gold Panda Series began in 1982 with four gold coin weights: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. The following year, a fifth size—1/20 oz—was added to the collection. The series is widely known for introducing new Giant Panda reverse designs annually. Right now, the 1998 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1998 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin offered here comes sealed in plastic pouches. Giant pandas, found only in central China’s mountainous bamboo forests, are among the world’s most adored mammals. While they belong to the order Carnivora, pandas consume mostly bamboo and have evolved several adaptations to support this unique diet.
The relationship between pandas and bamboo extends beyond diet to their entire ecology. Pandas must follow the bamboo growth cycle, sometimes migrating between different elevations as bamboo flowers and dies in cyclical patterns. This dependency makes pandas particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and bamboo loss.
On the obverse of the 1998 Chinese Gold Panda Coin is the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This striking, circular building sits at the center of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing and was used by emperors to pray for good harvests. The architectural details are finely captured, including the staircase and surrounding platform.
The reverse of the 1998 1/20 oz Gold Panda Coin features a Giant Panda in a laid-back pose, holding bamboo branches. Though their digestive system is more suited to processing meat, pandas rely on a bamboo-based diet and must eat for many hours each day to absorb enough nutrition—often as much as 40 pounds of bamboo daily.
