The 2020 (Y) 1 Kilo Proof Chinese Gold Panda Coins are graded PF70, meaning they are in perfect condition with no visible flaws. The ultra-cameo (UCAM) finish enhances the coin’s appearance, with frosted designs set against deeply mirrored fields. The “First Release” label means these coins were graded within 30 days of release. Struck at the Shenyang Mint in Liaoning Province, China, these coins are an important part of Chinese numismatic history.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2020 (Y) 1 Kilo Proof Gold Panda Coin features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. This has been the design on Gold Pandas since 1982. The Hall is part of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing, and the design shows the exterior staircase leading to its entrance.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2020 (Y) Proof Chinese Gold Panda, you will find a representation of a Giant Panda resting among bamboo. Known for their playful nature, giant pandas spend a lot of time socializing and engaging in activities that help develop their skills. These animals live in a specialized environment within the mountains of central China, where dense bamboo forests provide a home for them.

History

Unfortunately, human activities like logging, agriculture, and infrastructure development have dramatically reduced their habitat, with current estimates suggesting less than 1,600 wild pandas remain in approximately 20 isolated mountain ranges, making their ecological preservation a critical global conservation priority.
