The Gold Pandas were first minted in 1982 in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz coins. In 1983, they introduced the 1/20 oz sized coins. Some years also include 5 oz and 12 oz Gold coins. In 2016, The People’s Republic of China began minting Gold Pandas in the metric system sizes to better suit the international appeal of the coins. Each year, the design of the panda changes making them highly collectible. The only year they didn’t change design was 2002, which used the same design as 2001. Collectors spoke up about this halt in the design changes, and the annual design changes resumed in 2003.

The People’s Republic of China issues and guarantees the quality of each Gold Panda coin. Gold Panda coins are minted from several mints each year. Those mints include but are not limited to Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Shenyang. Unlike the U.S. Mint, these Chinese Mints do not incorporate mintmarks to distinguish the difference between each mint every year. Some years such as 1987 do feature a “Y” mintmark or “S” mintmark. The mints are also known for having minor differences in the design of the coin such as font size, small date, large date and designs of the temple in certain year’s mintages. With the annual change in design, and unique mint variations, the price of Gold Pandas has appreciated over time making them highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.

These 2016 Chinese Gold Panda coins are part of a special gold and silver six-coin set from the Chinese Mint. These commemorative gold and silver coins feature the all-new 2016 panda design, and the traditional image of the Temple of Heaven on the reverse.

On the reverse face of the coin you’ll find the latest image of a giant panda to grace the coin program. In the depiction, a single adult panda is featured climbing along a downed tree trunk. The bamboo wall that has become so familiar in the design in recent years returns on this design, with the face value, weight, metal content, and purity of the coin engraved below.

The obverse features the familiar Temple of Heaven. Located in the south-central part of Beijing, the Temple of Heaven has stood for thousands of years, and traditionally served as a house of worship and sacrifice for emperors.

All coins are BU (Brilliant Uncirculated), and coins come sealed in a vinly lamination.
