History

The gold Pandas were first minted in 1983. The first 3 years of mintage were in proof quality condition, and had a limited mintage of 10,000 pieces for each year. No gold Pandas were struck in 1986, but they have been minted every year since. Each year, the design of the panda changes, making them highly collectible. The only year they didn't change design was 2002, which used the same design as 2001. Beginning with the 2016 release, all the mint's bullion coins were changed to metric weight.

The popularity of the China Panda series has grown exponentially over the years. The panda in Chinese culture is recognized as a symbol of peace and friendship. The gold Panda's relatively low mintage has not kept pace with the worldwide demand, which makes it of great interest to collectors. And, of course, what's not to love about a bullion series dedicated to one of the most adored animals in the world?
