The Chinese Gold Panda coin has set two important firsts in the precious metals industry. The first of these came in 1982 when it debuted as the first major gold bullion coin program to feature rotating annual designs on one side of the coin. Previous debuts of the South African Gold Krugerrand and Canadian Gold Maple Leaf use the same design each year.

Secondly, and more recently, the Gold Panda became the first major bullion coin program to abandon Troy ounces as its marked unit of weight. The Chinese government converted the Gold and Silver Panda coins to Grams for markings starting in 2016.

Each 2017 8 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coin in this listing is available with a perfect Mint State 70 grade from the NGC. Coins in this condition have full, original mint luster and lack any detracting flaws. As Early Release coins, the NGC guarantees the coins were received for certification within the first 30 days of their 2017 issue date by the Chinese Mint.

Additionally, these 2017 8 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coins arrive inside of the NGC’s famed protective plastic slabs. This time however, you’ll find a vivid red core label inside of the crystal-clear slab with EdgeView holder technology.

On the obverse of all 2017 Chinese Gold Panda Coins is the depiction of the panda. This native bear species is found throughout the central highlands of China, and is depicted on this year’s design sitting on a branch as it gnaws on some bamboo.

The reverse of all 2017 8 Gram Chinese Gold Panda Coins features the Temple of Heaven design. Used since 1982, this image depicts the façade of the primary building in a religious and social complex erected during the 15^th century in south-central Beijing.
