Each 1984 12 oz Proof Chinese Gold Panda Coin offered here comes in PF62 condition. Coins with this grade exhibit somewhat impaired luster with generally acceptable eye appeal. The coins may have distracting marks in the primary focal fields and/or secondary areas. It is also possible for a few scattered, noticeable patches. UCAM stands for ultra-cameo proof and indicates the presence of strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear fields.

The 1984 Proof Gold Panda features a unique reverse depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. The building stands as the crown jewel of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, distinguished by its magnificent triple-gabled circular structure adorned with vibrant blue, green, and gold glazed tiles. Constructed during the Ming Dynasty in 1420, this architectural masterpiece represents the pinnacle of classical Chinese design.

The obverse of the 1984 Proof Chinese Gold Panda features a depiction of an adult Giant Panda. The panda is shown seated upright with bamboo shoots in the background and one shoot of bamboo in its paws as it munches away.
