1987 China 1/20 oz Gold Panda Proof (Sealed)
This delicate gold coin from 1987 represents a beloved annual tradition in Chinese numismatics. Struck in a proof finish, it contains 1/20 of an ounce of 99.9 percent pure gold, backed by the authority of the People's Bank of China. The coin belongs to a celebrated series known for altering its central imagery with each passing year, making every release a distinct artistic snapshot. The reverse side of this issue captures a tranquil natural scene, depicting a single panda leaning down to drink from a flowing river, surrounded by leafy bamboo stalks. The face value of 5 Yuan is inscribed alongside details of its metal content and purity. On the obverse, the coin displays the magnificent Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located within Beijing's historic Temple of Heaven complex. Surrounding this architectural marvel are the Chinese characters representing the People's Republic of China, positioned above the 1987 year of production.
