Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin

The Chinese

Panda Gold Bullion Coin is a very popular series of pure, .999 gold bullion

coins produced by the People's Republic of China. The Chinese Panda Gold Bullion

Coin began production in 1982, and is produced in several mints across China,

including Beijing, Shenzhen, Shenyang, and Shanghai. The Chinese Panda Gold

Bullion Coin has been issued in a variety of sizes: the 1/20 ounce Chinese Panda

Gold Bullion Coin, the 1/10 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin, the 1/4 ounce

Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin, the 1/2 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin,

and the 1 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin. On certain years, the Chinese

Panda Gold Bullion Coin was issued in larger 5 ounce and 12 ounce sizes.



The Obverse

of the Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin depicts the Temple of Heaven, and also

has Chinese characters that translate to "People's Republic of China", and the

year of issue. The Reverse of the Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin has a depiction

of the Chinese Giant Panda that change every year, with the notable exception

of the years 2001 and 2002, which share the same design.



The Chinese

Panda Gold Bullion Coin is issued in a proof like condition, typically sealed

in either a capsule, plastic, or both. This keeps the Chinese Panda Gold Bullion

Coin looking new, as it is composed of 99.9% pure gold, which is a very soft

metal. If the Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin becomes dinged or scratched, the

Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin would keep its intrinsic gold value, but would

lose any premium a Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin may typically have.



The Chinese

Panda Gold Bullion Coin is legal tender in China, and thus each coin is marked

with a value in Yuan. From 2001 to present day those values are: 25 Yuan for

the 1/20 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin, 50 Yuan for the 1/10 ounce Chinese

Panda Gold Bullion Coin, 100 Yuan for the 1/4 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion

Coin, 200 Yuan for the 1/2 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin, and 500 Yuan

for the 1 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin.

until 2000, the Yuan Value for the Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin was: 5 Yuan

for the 1/20 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin, 10 Yuan for the 1/10 ounce

Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin, 25 Yuan for the 1/4 ounce Chinese Panda Gold

Bullion Coin, 50 Yuan for the 1/2 ounce Chinese Panda Gold Bullion Coin, and
