Introduced in 1982 by the China Banknote Printing and Mining Corporation, the China Panda coin is now issued by the China Gold Coin Incorporation under the People’s Bank of China. The panda, globally recognised as China's national animal, holds immense popularity, and collectors eagerly anticipate the annual release of new designs. The panda is considered lucky in Chinese culture and symbolises peace and friendship.
The 30 gram China Panda Gold Coin for 2024 doesn’t disappoint with an adorable image of mother and baby on the reverse of the coin, they are seated in front of foliage and rocks with leaves scattered around them on the ground giving the impression they are wild, out in nature. The image cleverly makes their fur look shiny and plush, as though it would be soft to touch on the coin! The coin has a face value of 500 yuan which is displayed on the reverse. The weight and purity, "30g Au .999", are also inscribed on this side.
On the obverse, the coin features the iconic Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, highlighting the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, a remarkable engineering marvel. Originally named The Temple of Heaven and Earth, it became a World Heritage Site in 1998. Surrounding the image the legend displays Chinese characters which translate to “People's Republic of China” and the year at the bottom.
