Obverse

The obverse design of the 1987-S Chinese Panda Gold Coin displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This important temple, part of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, has been shown on every Gold Panda coin since 1982 and includes the large staircase leading up to the hall.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1987-S Panda 1/20 oz Gold Coin features the years unique panda artwork, showing a Giant Panda bending down to sip from a pond. Play and exploration are vital to pandas at all ages, providing exercise, balance, and stimulation in their daily lives.

History

While giant pandas are generally quiet and solitary, they are also well known for their playfulness. Young pandas often roll, climb trees, and wrestle with one another, while even adults sometimes slide down hills or play with objects in their surroundings.
