1987 China 5 oz Gold Panda Proof (w/COA, no Box)
Struck in 1987, this impressive gold proof coin contains five ounces of 0.999 fine gold. With a limited mintage of just 3,000 pieces, the coin is a remarkable example of Chinese numismatic artistry. The design celebrates the giant panda, a beloved animal native to the mountainous regions of central China. Known for a diet consisting almost entirely of bamboo, the giant panda serves as a global emblem for China and is cherished locally as a representation of peace and friendship. The reverse of the coin captures a gentle moment, depicting a mother panda alongside her cub as they feed on bamboo. This side also notes the weight of 5 oz and the face value of 500 Yuan. On the obverse, the coin displays the historic Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located within Beijing's famous Temple of Heaven. Surrounding this architectural landmark are inscriptions identifying the issuing country as the People's Republic of China, along with the 1987 year of issue.
