Obverse

The obverse of the 1987-Y Chinese Gold Panda Coin features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, a structure within Beijings Temple of Heaven complex. This design has remained a signature feature of the Gold Panda Series since its debut in 1982.

Reverse

On the reverse, the 1987 design highlights a giant panda standing near a pond, lowering its head to take a drink. Gentle ripples spread across the water, while bamboo stalks grow nearby, reinforcing the species connection to its natural environment.

History

Giant pandas are known for their dependence on large, unbroken forested areas to sustain their bamboo-based diet. A single panda requires approximately 10 square kilometers of habitat to meet its dietary needs, consuming up to 38 kilograms of bamboo daily. The low nutritional value of bamboo forces them to eat large quantities, making habitat conservation critical for the species’ survival.
