Debuting in 1982, the Chinese Gold Panda Series brought a unique idea to the world of bullion coins: a new design each year. Since that first release, almost every year has showcased a fresh image of the Giant Panda, with only 2002 repeating a previous design. Today, BullionMax offers 1999 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins featuring the Small Date engraving.

Coin Highlights:

• Arrives in a sealed plastic pouch!
• Features Small Date numerals!
• 18th coin in the Gold Panda Series!
• Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure gold.
• Bears a face value of 100 Yuan backed by the People’s Republic of China.
• Obverse showcases the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests.
• Reverse depicts a Giant Panda atop a rock ledge with bamboo scenery.

Each 1999 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin comes individually sealed inside a protective plastic pouch. These particular coins are classified as Small Date editions, with the year’s numerals appearing smaller and closer together compared to other 1999 issues.

Giant pandas are known for their playful personalities, especially their love for sliding and rolling. In the wild and in captivity, pandas often find slopes or hillsides where they can tumble and roll for fun. Observations show that pandas will even climb higher just to enjoy sliding down again, suggesting that play is an important and joyful part of their behavior.

The obverse of the 1999 Chinese Gold Panda Coin displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, an important structure within the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. This artwork features the grand staircase leading up to the temple’s entrance and captures the intricate design elements of traditional Chinese architecture.

On the reverse side, the 1999 1 oz Gold Panda Coin presents a Giant Panda standing on a rocky ledge. The panda looks down curiously from its perch, highlighting the animal’s inquisitive and playful nature. Unlike many mammals that become less playful with age, pandas continue to engage in playful activities well into adulthood, adding to their lasting charm.
