The Chinese Gold Panda Series has been a well-known option among collectors and investors since its debut in 1982. In its early years, the series used Troy ounce-based weights with lower face values than those issued after 2001. The first release featured 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz coins, with the 1/20 oz size introduced in 1983. Today, BGASC is pleased to offer the 1987-Y 1/20 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins for purchase online.

While 1987 was the sixth release in the Gold Panda Series, the 1/20 oz coin had only been available for five years, as it was introduced in 1983, a year after the series began.

Obverse

The obverse of the 1987-Y Chinese Gold Panda Coin features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This historic structure is located within Beijings Temple of Heaven complex and has been consistently depicted on the obverse of every Gold Panda coin since the series was introduced in 1982.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 1987-Y 1/20 oz Gold Panda Coin, a giant panda is shown drinking from a pond. As the panda leans toward the water, ripples form around its reflection. Bamboo shoots rise in the background, reinforcing the natural setting of these beloved animals.

History

Giant Pandas are native to mountainous regions of central China, where they live at elevations ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 feet. These areas are characterized by dense bamboo forests, humid climates, and ample water sources, providing the ideal conditions for pandas to thrive. These forests offer abundant vegetation and a steady supply of bamboo, which makes up the majority of their diet.
