First introduced in 1982, the Chinese Gold Panda Series brought a fresh idea to bullion collectors by changing its design every year. Since then, almost every edition has shown a new view of the Giant Panda, with only 2002 repeating a previous design. Right now, you can find 1999 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins featuring Small Date engravings available through BGASC.

Each 1999 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is housed in a sealed plastic pouch to help protect its condition. These coins are the Small Date variety, meaning the numbers marking the year appear smaller and closer together compared to other versions from the same year.

Obverse

The obverse of the 1999 Chinese Gold Panda Coin shows the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, part of the historic Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing. The artwork captures the steps leading to the main entrance and highlights the classic design style of traditional Chinese architecture.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 1999 1 oz Gold Panda Coin displays a Giant Panda perched on a rocky outcrop. The panda gazes downward with a curious look, reflecting its playful character. Interestingly, giant pandas keep their playful behaviors even as adults, a rare trait among mammals that adds to their special charm.

History

Giant pandas are well-known for their playful ways, often seen rolling and sliding in their habitats. Whether in nature or in zoos, pandas enjoy finding sloped areas where they can tumble down and play. Scientists have even noticed that pandas will climb to higher spots just to roll down again, showing that playfulness is an important and joyful part of their behavior.
