The Chinese Gold Panda Series has been a popular option for investors since its introduction in 1982. Initially, these coins were issued in traditional Troy ounce weights with lower face values than those seen in later years. The first release included 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins, with a 1/20 oz gold coin added in 1983. Today, you can purchase the 1987-Y 1/10 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin online from BullionMax.

On the obverse of the 1987-Y 1/10 oz Gold Panda Coin, you will find the consistent design used across the series. The Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, the main building in the Temple of Heaven complex, has appeared on both gold and silver versions of the coin since 1982.

The reverse of the 1987-Y Chinese Gold Panda Coin features a unique annual design. This year’s artwork depicts a giant panda standing near a small pond, dipping its head to drink from the water. Bamboo shoots grow nearby, and ripples form on the surface where the panda’s mouth meets the water.

Giant pandas primarily inhabit the mountainous regions of China, including the provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. These areas are home to dense bamboo forests, providing their main food source. The remote, high-altitude environment offers cooler temperatures and natural isolation from human activity.

Each 1987-Y 1/10 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is packaged in a sealed plastic pouch. The Y mint mark indicates production at the Shenyang Mint. This particular coin is also classified as a Large Date variety, referring to the larger font used for the numerals in the date mark.
