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. Right now, 2001 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2001 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin listed here comes in a sealed plastic pouch. The 2001 release was unique in two important ways. First off, it was the first issue of Gold Pandas with new, larger face values. From 1982 to 2000, the 1 oz gold coin was valued at 100 Yuan, while the 2001 issue introduced the new 500 Yuan face value. Of equal importance to collectors, the design from the 2001 coins was the only one in the program’s history to be repeated, appearing the following year on 2002 coins.
Giant pandas possess a unique combination of bear-like strength and specialized adaptations for their bamboo diet. Their distinctive black-and-white fur pattern serves as camouflage in their dappled forest environment, while their powerful jaw muscles and flat molars are perfectly designed for crushing tough bamboo stalks. Perhaps most remarkably, pandas have developed a “pseudo-thumb” – an enlarged wrist bone that functions as an opposable digit.
For the obverse of 2001 Chinese Gold Panda, 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 2001 1 oz Gold Panda Coin, the mint features a new design created specifically for this year’s release. The 2001 coins depict a unique image of the Giant Panda, continuing the series’ tradition of annual design changes. Pandas are celebrated for their gentle nature and distinctive appearance, and each year’s design offers collectors a fresh perspective on this beloved species.
