{{/presale}}The Chinese Panda Gold Coin is one of the foremost gold bullion programs in the world. Introduced by the Chinese Mint in 1982, the only programs available for longer are the South African Krugerrand Gold Coins and the Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins. Right now, you can get the Chinese Panda 1/2 oz Gold Coin at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
When you purchase a Chinese Panda 1/2 oz Gold Coin from this Provident Metals listing, you will receive your coin inside unsealed, plastic flips. The coins come with various conditions, meaning it is possible for the coins to have abrasions, scratches, scuffs, or spots.
Obverse
On the obverse of all Chinese Panda 1/2 oz Gold Coins, you will find the image of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This is the primary structure within the Temple of Heaven Complex in south-central Beijing.
Reverse
The reverse field of the Chinese Panda Gold Coins includes the Giant Panda. This bear species is native to the central highlands of China and is distinctive for its black and white patches of fur. The panda is an unofficial emblem of China and features on the reverse of this coin series every year with new images of the panda. This gives the collection collectible value on top of its investment-grade production.
History
Chinese Panda Gold Coins were introduced in 1982 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz weights. A 1/20 oz coin was later added in 1983. From 1982 to 2000, the Chinese Mint issued its 1/2 oz gold coins in the Panda Series with a 50 Yuan face value, adjusting it upward to 200 Yuan in 2001. In 2015, the original Troy ounce weights were canceled and the coins adjusted slightly for continued issue in Grams.
