China Panda 30g Gold Coin 2021
The China Panda coin debuted in 1982 under the auspices of the China Banknote Printing and Mining Corporation. Presently, issuance of these coins falls under the purview of the China Gold Coin Incorporation, operating under the People’s Bank of China. The panda holds widespread recognition as China's national animal, making it an immensely popular symbol. Each year, collectors eagerly anticipate new designs featuring the panda, as the image is refreshed annually.
The 30 gram China Panda Gold Coin 2021 was designed by Tong Fang and shows a delightful image of a baby panda in a tree with its mother below. The face value of the coin, 500 yuan, is inscribed on this side together with the weight and purity displayed as “30g Au .999”.
The obverse showcases the renowned Temple of Heaven complex situated in Beijing. The main part of the complex is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, characterised by its three imposing wooden circular tiers, considered a remarkable engineering achievement. Initially named the Temple of Heaven and Earth, its title was shortened in the 16th century. Recognising its significance, the site was designated a World Heritage Site in 1998.
