1989 China 1/2 oz Gold Panda Large Date BU (Sealed)
The 1989 Chinese Gold Panda showcases a delightful reverse design featuring a single panda sitting peacefully while grasping a stalk of bamboo. This half-ounce gold coin, struck in 0.999 fine purity, is part of a highly collected series backed by the People's Bank of China. The reverse also displays the face value of 50 Yuan alongside inscriptions indicating the weight and metal purity of 1/2 oz Au. On the obverse, the coin features the magnificent Hall of Prayer for Abundant Harvests, located within Beijing's famous Temple of Heaven complex. Above the temple structure, Chinese characters translate to the People's Republic of China, while the year of production, 1989, is clearly marked at the base. This particular release has a recorded mintage of 120,588 pieces, making it a fascinating study for those exploring the evolution of China's signature coinage.
