¼ oz Chinese Gold Panda

The 1/4 oz Chinese Gold Panda is a classic fractional gold coin that combines exceptional purity with artistic appeal. Introduced in 1982 as part of the original Gold Panda series, this denomination 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 desirable addition to any collection.

Key Features:

• Purity: Struck in .999 fine gold, ensuring superior quality and craftsmanship. Each coin reflects the precision of the China Gold Coin Corporation and meets the high standards expected by collectors and dealers worldwide.

• Design: The obverse features the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, an enduring symbol of Chinese culture, along with inscriptions for “People’s Republic of China” and the year of issue. The reverse showcases a panda motif that changes annually, adding uniqueness and artistic value to every coin.

• Denomination: Official legal tender of the People’s Republic of China, with a face value of 100 Yuan. While its intrinsic gold content far exceeds its nominal denomination, this status underscores 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 25 Yuan.

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

The 1/4 oz Chinese Gold Panda offers cultural artistry and numismatic significance in a convenient fractional size. Its place in the original troy-ounce series makes it an essential addition for collectors building a complete Gold Panda collection.
