1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda

The 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda is the smallest denomination in the original troy-ounce series, offering collectors an affordable way to own a piece of this iconic coin program. Introduced in 1983, this fractional size remained in production until 2015, when the series transitioned to metric weights. Its limited production era and annually changing panda design make it a highly collectible piece for those building a complete Gold Panda set.

Key Features:

• Purity: Each coin is struck in .999 fine gold, reflecting the exceptional quality standards of the China Gold Coin Corporation. This purity ensures that even the smallest denomination meets the expectations of serious collectors and dealers worldwide.

• Design: The obverse features the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, surrounded by inscriptions for “People’s Republic of China” and the year of issue. The reverse displays a panda motif that changes annually, adding artistic appeal and uniqueness to every release.

• Denomination: Official legal tender of the People’s Republic of China, with a face value of 20 Yuan. This designation confirms the coin’s authenticity and government-backed origin. Note: In 2001, the denominations of the Chinese Panda coins were all increased despite the coins’ gold content and dimensions remaining unchanged. Prior to 2001, the denomination of this coin was 5 Yuan.

• Collectability: Discontinued after 2015 when the series moved to gram-based weights, making this denomination a classic pre-change issue. Its small size and distinctive designs ensure strong demand among collectors seeking historically significant pieces.

The 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda combines cultural heritage and numismatic artistry in a compact format. Its role in the original troy-ounce series makes it an essential piece for collectors aiming to complete the Gold Panda set.
