The China
Mint of The Peoples Republic of China began producing panda gold
coins in 1982. The pandas are minted in pure gold and are mostly
minted in 1/20, 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 Ounce sizes (see specifications
chart below). Larger pandas have been minted in sizes up to 12
ounces, but not in large quantities and these larger issues are
rarely seen. Up until 2002 they changed the obverse designs each
year resulting in a very collectible series. In 2002 the China
Mint announced that they were going to use the 2001 design on
future panda gold coin issues. Fortunately, for those who collect
them, the Mint changed their minds and did produce a new panda
design in 2003. The reverse depicts the Hall of Prayer for Abundant
Harvests in the Temple of Heaven and has been modified only slightly
over the years (see below). The pandas are not minted in great
quantities like some bullion gold coins and their popularity
in jewelry has resulted in very few mint condition issues remaining
in most of the earlier designs. All of our pandas are in mint
condition and are still in their original mint packaging.
River City Coins
& Jewelry also stocks a large selection of 14K gold bezels
if you wish to wear your coin as a piece of jewelry (see below).
