Each 2013 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin available here is sealed in plastic. Each coin comes with its own plastic pouch. The 2013 issue of the coins, like most in the history of this series, features its own, unique design.
The Giant Panda has evolved over millions of years to primarily feed on bamboo. Despite being classified as a carnivore, its diet consists almost exclusively of bamboo leaves, stems, and shoots. This adaptation is evident in the panda’s skull structure, teeth, and digestive system, which have all been modified to efficiently process and extract nutrients from bamboo.
In the obverse design of the 2013 Chinese Gold Panda Coin, the mint features its static design for the series. Here, the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests is featured and offers a view of its front doors from the foot of steps that lead up to the entryway. The Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests is the largest building in the Temple of Heaven Complex.
For the reverse design of 2013 1 oz Gold Panda Coins, you will find a depiction of a family of pandas. The pandas shown here have a wall of bamboo behind them, as the three pandas gather near the banks of a small body of water. One of the pandas is taking a sip of water from the small pond, as evidenced by the ripples on the surface near its mouth.
