1987 China 5 oz Gold Panda Proof (w/Box & COA)
In 1987, China released a magnificent five-ounce gold coin as part of its celebrated Panda series. Struck in a proof finish, this substantial piece contains five troy ounces of highly pure 0.999 fine gold. With a limited mintage of only 3,000 pieces, it represents a highly sought-after treasure of modern coinage. The obverse side presents a detailed depiction of the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located within Beijing's historic Temple of Heaven. Encircling this architectural wonder are Chinese characters translating to "People's Republic of China," with the year of issue, 1987, anchoring the bottom of the design. On the reverse, a heartwarming wildlife scene unfolds, showing a mother panda alongside her cub as they feed on bamboo. This side also displays the face value of 500 Yuan and the metal specifications, confirming its status as a significant and beautifully crafted legal tender release.
