1987 China 1/20 oz Gold Panda BU (Sino-Japanese Friendship)
This 1987 gold coin from the People's Bank of China offers an intriguing combination of traditional imagery and diplomatic commemoration. Struck in a delicate size containing 1/20 of an ounce of 0.999 fine gold, the piece belongs to the highly regarded Chinese Panda series but carries a special distinction as a commemorative medal honoring Sino-Japanese friendship. The obverse side displays the iconic Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located within Beijing's historic Temple of Heaven. Uniquely, this side also incorporates the year of issue, 1987, alongside a depiction of a volcano. On the reverse, the coin features the classic, endearing imagery of a panda clinging to a bamboo sprig, a beloved symbol of China's natural heritage.
