1988 5 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin

The Chinese Gold Panda coins are among the most coveted gold coins around the globe. They combine high purity levels with exclusive designs of the Giant Panda, a beloved native Chinese mammal.

The Chinese Mint first released the Gold Panda Series in 1982, and since then, at each annual strike, the Giant Panda, easily recognizable for its large black patches around their docile eyes and body, receives a unique design in its habitat.

This coin is originally a proof coin but is in circulated condition, with some marks and scuffs around the surface. It contains 5 Troy oz of 99.9% fine gold, which corresponds to approximately 155,51 grams.
