Description
1999 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin (Small Date, Sealed)
Debuting in 1982, the Chinese Gold Panda Series introduced the innovative idea of changing its design annually on a bullion coin. Since that inaugural release, nearly every year has featured a fresh depiction of the beloved Giant Panda, with 2002 standing out as the lone exception. Right now, 1999 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins with Small Date engravings are available.
Coin Highlights:
- Arrives in a sealed plastic pouch!
- Features Small Date numerals!
- 18th coin in the Gold Panda Series!
- Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure gold.
- Bears a face value of 100 Yuan backed by the People’s Republic of China.
- Obverse showcases the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests.
- Reverse depicts a Giant Panda atop a rock ledge with bamboo scenery.
Each 1999 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin available here is housed inside a protective, sealed plastic pouch. These coins are identified as Small Date variants, meaning the date engraving features more compact and narrowly spaced numerals compared to other Gold Panda issues.
Giant pandas are renowned for their playful antics, particularly their love of sliding and rolling. These charming bears often seek out sloped surfaces in their habitats, whether natural hillsides or zoo enclosures, where they engage in spontaneous somersaults and tumbling sessions. Researchers have observed pandas deliberately climbing to elevated positions only to roll or slide down repeatedly, suggesting this behavior serves not only as physical exercise but also as genuine play.
On the obverse of the 1999 Chinese Gold Panda is the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, the centerpiece of Beijing’s Temple of Heaven complex. This image highlights the expansive staircase leading up to the temple’s grand entrance, providing a glimpse into the traditional architectural style that embodies China’s cultural richness.
The reverse design of the 1999 1 oz Gold Panda Coin captures a Giant Panda positioned on a rocky outcrop. The panda is shown curiously gazing downward from the ledge, hinting at its overall playful nature. Interestingly, adult pandas retain playful behaviors throughout their lives, unlike many mammal species that grow less playful with age. This perpetual playfulness, combined with their distinctive appearance and relaxed demeanor, contributes significantly to the giant panda’s enduring appeal
