Specifications
The Chinese Panda coin is one of the only government-issued bullion coins to change the reverse design every year.
As a native of the mountainous regions of central China, the Panda Bear is universally loved. Their herbivorous, non-threatening nature, unique look, and playfulness all contribute to the perception of an extremely amiable, easy-going, and fun creature. It is no wonder that the Panda has been the feature of China's bullion productions since its initial conception in 1982. Since then, the Panda has gone on to be globally recognized as an established, trustworthy, and highly liquid investment. With a dynamic and ever-changing reverse design since its initial release, the Panda is a collector item as much as it is an investment!
