{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}First launched in 1982, the Chinese Gold Panda series has become a longtime favorite among collectors due to its changing designs and reliable gold content. Issued yearly by the Peoples Republic of China, these coins feature artwork inspired by the countrys beloved giant panda. Right now, BGASC offers the 1988 1/4 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin for sale online.
Highlights:
Each 1988 1/4 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is sealed in a plastic pouch to keep it safe. The 1988 issue marked the seventh year of production, with this artwork used across all five weights minted by China that year.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1988 1/4 oz Gold Panda Coin, youll find a depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. Located in Beijings Temple of Heaven, this building has been a consistent feature on all Gold Panda coin obverses since 1982. Inscriptions in Chinese characters surround the image and include the year of issue.
Reverse
The reverse of the coin presents a seated giant panda holding a bamboo shoot. This calm image reflects the species’ strong connection to bamboo, which is their primary source of food. Bamboo plants grow in cycles and can suddenly disappear from panda habitats for decades, making survival difficult during those times.
History
Despite their classification as carnivores, pandas eat almost nothing but bamboo. Their bodies have adapted to handle this unique diet, with specialized features like pseudo-thumbs for grasping stalks and strong jaws to chew tough plant material. Pandas need to consume between 26 and 84 pounds of bamboo daily to maintain their energy.
