The Chinese Panda Series is one of the most coveted and diverse in the precious metals industry. Offered in both gold and silver, the Gold Panda comes with five weights each year as of 1983 and is anchored by the 1 oz gold coin for sale.
Chinese Gold Pandas were introduced in 1982 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins. The next year saw both the addition of a 1/20 oz gold coin in this series and the first release of a Chinese Silver Panda, though the first several issues of the latter coin were proof specimens.
All of the 1986 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins available here are individually packaged. These coins are offered sealed inside plastic pouches. The 1986 issue of the Gold Panda occurred at the same time the US Mint debuted its Gold Eagle Series, a fourth major option for gold buyers alongside Chinese Pandas, Canadian Maple Leafs, and South African Krugerrands.
On the obverse of the 1986 Chinese Gold Panda Coin, you will find a depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This design has featured on the obverse each year since 1982 and captures an exterior view of the largest building in the Temple of Heaven Complex.
The reverse side of the 1986 oz Gold Panda Coin features an image of the Giant Panda. In this year’s exclusive design, the Giant Panda is shown walking on all fours as its figure is surrounded by bamboo stalks on both sides.
