The Chinese Gold Panda series is a long-standing bullion program issued annually by the Chinese Mint. First introduced in 1982, the series began with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coins, expanding in 1983 to include the 1/20 oz size. One of the defining characteristics of this series is the annual redesign of the reverse imagery, which always features the Giant Panda. Right now, BGASC is offering 1985 1/10 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins featuring the Large Date variety.

Each of the 1985 1/10 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins in this listing is individually sealed in a protective plastic pouch. This particular coin is classified as a Large Date variety, referring to the slightly larger font used in the date engraving compared to other 1985 issues.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 1985 Chinese Gold Panda Coin, youll find the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, the largest structure within Beijings Temple of Heaven complex. This Taoist landmark has been featured on every Gold Panda coin since the series was introduced in 1982.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1985 1/10 oz Gold Panda Coin depicts a panda cub swimming near a bamboo shoot. Young pandas are highly active, often seen climbing, rolling, and playing with one another. These behaviors help them develop essential physical and social skills.

History

The reverse design for the 1985 Gold Panda captures the playful nature of panda cubs. While their climbing and tumbling may appear lighthearted, these activities are crucial to their development. Through play, young pandas improve coordination and strengthen their muscles, preparing them for adulthood.
