China Panda 1/2oz Gold Coin 1992
This is the first year since 1982 that the obverse layout of the coin has changed but there are still different panda designs each year. The 1992 China Panda ½oz is 99.9 fine gold and in mint-state condition. Chinese mints do not normally use mintmarks but some years show minor variations in design, such as size of date, to identify mint in China or the design made by different designers.
