1987-Y China 1/4 oz Gold Panda BU (Sealed)
Struck by the Chinese Mint in 1987, this brilliant uncirculated gold coin contains one quarter ounce of 99.9 percent pure gold. It represents a classic era of Chinese coinage, backed by the monetary authority of the People's Bank of China. This particular issue is notable for carrying the Y mint mark, which signifies its production at the Shenyang facility, with a total mintage of roughly 31,000 pieces. The obverse of the coin showcases the architectural majesty of Beijing's Temple of Heaven, specifically highlighting the Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests. Surrounding this sacred structure is the Chinese inscription translating to the People's Republic of China, positioned alongside the 1987 year of production. On the reverse, a peaceful natural scene unfolds, depicting a single panda drinking water from a flowing river amidst a backdrop of bamboo. This side also denotes the face value of 25 Yuan and the metal weight and purity, marking it as a beautiful fusion of cultural artistry and precise metal refinement.
