1992 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin (Small Date, Sealed)

The Chinese Gold Panda is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and collectible gold bullion coins on the market.

Today, the 1992 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin with Small Date engraving is available.

Giant Panda cubs are well-known treeblimbers. As these young pandas scramble up and down tree trunks, they engage in what appears to be a mixture of serious practice and pure joy. Their climbing techniques evolve rapidly, starting with clumsy, wobbling attempts and progressing to confident, swift movements that showcase their natural athleticism.

Each 1992 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin offered here is presented in a sealed plastic pouch for protection. This specific version is categorized as a Small Date variety, referencing the compact font style used for the year engraved on the coin. In contrast to the larger, more widely spaced digits of the Large Date coins, Small Date versions feature more condensed numerals in the date inscription.

On the obverse side of the 1992 Chinese Gold Panda, you’ll find a rendering of the Temple of Heaven’s Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. The view centers on the building’s main entrance, with its iconic circular structure rising majestically against a blank field. This design has remained constant on the Chinese Gold Panda Series since its introduction in 1982.

The reverse design of the 1992 1 oz Gold Panda Coin captures a delightful scene of a panda cub climbing in a tree. This depiction highlights both the panda’s playful behavior and its instinctual need to master vertical movement—skills that are not only endearing but vital to survival in the wild.
