Obverse

On the obverse side of the 1991 1 oz Gold Panda Coin, youll find the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This structure is located in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing and has been an important part of Chinese spiritual life since the Ming Dynasty.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1991 Chinese Gold Panda Coin includes the image of a panda sitting quietly by a pond, eating bamboo. Each year’s design is different, and the 1991 version captures the panda in a calm and familiar pose in its natural setting.

History

Native to mountainous regions of central China, Giant Pandas are most commonly found in the provinces of Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi. They live in bamboo forests at elevations ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 feet. Known for their reliance on bamboo, pandas use a modified wrist bone, or pseudo-thumb, to help them handle their food.
