1987-S China 1/20 oz Gold Panda MS-69 PCGS
Struck in 1987 at the Shanghai Mint, this diminutive gold coin represents a classic entry in China's beloved Panda series. Containing 1/20 of an ounce of 99.9 percent pure gold, this five yuan denomination piece is backed by the People's Bank of China. The issue is relatively limited, with a total production of around 99,000 pieces. The front of the coin displays the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, a famous structure located within Beijing's historic Temple of Heaven complex. Surrounding this architectural marvel is the Chinese inscription for the People's Republic of China, alongside the 1987 production year. This specimen is certified as Mint State 69, representing an exceptionally high state of preservation. On the reverse, a charming wildlife scene unfolds, depicting a single giant panda quenching its thirst at a riverbank. Lush bamboo stalks frame the background of this natural setting. The reverse also displays the coin's weight, its 0.999 purity, and the 5 yuan face value.
