{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The Chinese Gold Panda series has been a favorite among collectors and investors since it began in 1982. Each year, the series introduces a fresh Giant Panda design, with only one repeat design in its entire history. BGASC now offers 1996 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins featuring the Large Date variety.
Highlights:
These 1996 1 oz Chinese Gold Panda Coins are sealed in protective plastic and feature the Large Date design. Large Date refers to the bigger, more widely spaced numerals used in the year shown on the obverse, a detail that sets them apart from other 1996 varieties.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1996 1 oz Gold Panda shows the traditional design used since the first issue in 1982. It features the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located in Beijings Temple of Heaven complex. Built in 1420, this historic building stands at the center of the site and is recognized for its layered roof and circular shape.
Reverse
For the reverse of the 1996 Chinese Gold Panda, the mint created a one-year-only design showing a young panda cub climbing in a tree. Panda cubs often display playful behavior, which helps them learn social skills and develop the strength needed to live on their own as they grow older.
History
Over millions of years, giant pandas adapted to life in Chinas bamboo forests, with roots tracing back to the late Miocene period. Their reliance on bamboo and their unique black-and-white fur evolved as they adapted to the mountainous regions of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. Evidence shows pandas once lived across larger parts of China and Southeast Asia.
