Each 2020 (Y) 100 Grams Proof Chinese Gold Panda Coin offered here is in perfect condition. The PF70 grade indicates that each coin retains full, original mint luster with no visible flaws. UCAM (ultra-cameo) refers to the striking contrast between the frosted design and deeply mirrored background. First Release specimens are those submitted for grading within 30 days of their mint release. All of these coins were struck at the Shenyang Mint. Owned and operated by the People’s Bank of China, this mint is particularly renowned for its production of commemorative and bullion coins, including the famous Chinese Gold and Silver Panda series.
The pandas’ habitat is remarkably narrow, consisting of isolated forest fragments in mountainous areas with specific microclimates that support thick bamboo growth, which makes their conservation particularly challenging. These forests feature a multilayered canopy of conifer and deciduous trees interspersed with multiple bamboo species, providing not just food but also critical shelter and breeding grounds for these iconic mammals.
The obverse of the 2020 (Y) Proof Chinese Gold Panda features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This iconic design has been part of the Gold Panda series since 1982 and shows the exterior staircase leading up to the building’s entrance. The Hall is located within the renowned Temple of Heaven Complex in Beijing.
On the reverse of the 2020 (Y) 100 Gram Proof Gold Panda Coins, you will find a striking depiction of a Giant Panda lying back amidst bamboo. In the wild, giant pandas are known for their unique social interactions and communication methods, using a variety of vocalizations like bleats, barks, and honks to convey their emotional states. Cubs are especially playful, often engaging in physical activities such as wrestling to develop social bonds and physical skills.
