Product Description

Introduced by the Chinese Mint in 1982, the Gold Panda series began with four sizes and added a fifth size in 1983. The series is admired for its annually updated artwork featuring the Giant Panda, a characteristic that has inspired many other coin programs around the globe. BGASC is pleased to offer 1988 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins for purchase online.

Highlights:

  • Ships inside sealed plastic pouches!
  • 7th release in the Gold Panda Series!
  • Contains 1/2 Troy oz of .999 pure gold.
  • Holds a face value of 50 Yuan, backed by China.
  • Obverse depicts the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests.
  • Reverse shows a Giant Panda reaching for bamboo.

Each 1988 1/2 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin comes sealed in a protective plastic pouch. Originally struck in Troy ounces, this series switched to grams in 2016, with the 1/2 oz coin becoming a 15-gram coin.

Obverse

The obverse side of the 1988 1/2 oz Gold Panda Coin features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This significant temple is part of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, a well-known Taoist site celebrated for its history and design.

Reverse

On the reverse, youll find a Giant Panda seated and reaching for a bamboo stalk. The intricate design uses different finishes to create contrast between the pandas black and white fur, a beloved feature of the Gold Panda series that brings the coins artwork to life.

History

One intriguing fact about the Giant Panda is its sixth digitan adaptation that functions as a thumb. This additional digit enables the panda to grasp bamboo with ease. Known for its love of bamboo, the panda spends up to 14 hours daily eating, often consuming more than 20 pounds of bamboo each day.
