2017 Chinese Panda 3 gram 999 Gold Coin
This astonishing 2017 3 gram Chinese Gold Panda 50 Yuan Coin is the newest issue in the internationally praised series – the beloved Chinese Gold Pandas. This beautiful coin consists of 3 grams of .999 pure gold and features on the 2017 image of the cute panda bear, sitting down and eating its bamboo branch.
In 1982, the People’s Bank of China issued the first Chinese Gold Panda Coins made from .999 fine gold and available in four sizes: 1 oz., ½ oz., ¼ oz., and 1/10 oz. In 1983, the bank also added the 1/20 oz. fractional sizes while several year issues include the 5 oz. and 12 oz. weights. The Chinese Gold Panda Coins feature a yearly changing reverse design, each time depicting a new image of the lovely panda bear (except for the 2001 and 2002 releases that share the same design). Several Chinese Mints produce these fantastic gold coins, yet the coins don’t carry any mint marks.
Starting with 2016, the Chinese Panda Coins had their weights established according to the metric system, being struck in 1, 3, 8, 15 and 30 gram bullion options and 50, 100, 150 grams and 1 kilo proof editions. For these reasons, this outstanding 2017 3 gram Chinese Gold Panda 50 Yuan Coin is a highly desired collectible and a treasured addition to any coin portfolio.
