The panda is a beloved animal that has been closely associated with China for thousands of years. Despite facing extinction due to their reluctance to mate, pandas are still a symbol of peace and harmony with the Earth in Chinese tales and fables. Pop culture in the United States has contributed to making pandas one of the most popular exotic creatures, enhancing their association with China.

The 1 Oz Chinese Gold Panda Coin is an excellent way to celebrate this close relationship between China and the panda. The coin features a highly detailed rendering of a panda eating a bamboo leaf in front of a bamboo forest on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Temple of Heaven in exceptional detail. The coin is made of .999 pure gold and weighs 1 Troy Ounce, with a face value of 500 Yuan backed by the Chinese government.

The artwork on the coin is particularly impressive, with attention paid to texture and color variation. The black limbs, ears, and eyes of the panda are displayed in their original dark glory, while the detailed background of bamboo trees behind the panda adds depth and perspective. The reverse side of the coin features a dark black background that makes the Temple of Heaven stand out, showcasing its intricate details.
