The Chinese Mint introduced the Chinese Panda Gold Coin as the first option in its panda bullion series in 1982. The coins were unveiled that year with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold options. In 1983, a 1/20 oz coin was added. 1983 also saw the introduction of a silver coin, but it took several years for the Chinese Mint to standardize its silver bullion coins and issued its first regular silver bullion option in 1989.

Obverse

The facade of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests is featured on the obverse side of Chinese Panda 1/4 oz Gold Coins. One of several buildings in the Temple of Heaven complex, the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests is the largest building and is an important Taoist religious site within the city of Beijing.

Reverse

For the reverse field, Chinese Panda 1/4 oz Gold Coins come with new designs of the Giant Panda species for each year of issue. Only two coin dates have ever shared a design, with the 2001 and 2002 coins featuring the same design. All other years have a new design of the Giant Panda.

History

From 1982 to 2015, the Chinese Mint issued its Chinese Panda Gold Coins with weights marked in Troy ounces. Starting in 2016, the mint shifted course and marked its coins in Grams throughout the series. The 1/4 oz gold coin was gone and replaced with the 8 Gram coin, which resulted in the coin increasing slightly in diameter while maintaining the same thickness.
